Click on the text.

I did this already, but do not change the state, does not save the new options

provide us with trouble screen shot

I'll provide you with one, I have the same problem. It's greyed out and un-clickable

Ok, but can you check it and uncheck it?

If so, check it, then click enable. Then go back and it should be enabled and clickable.

I have the same problem. The boxes are NOT checkable. All I can do is select what options are available to the member levels. I cannot edit the icon, price, or description.

I can create new member levels and do all that, but not the 3 that are defaults. Nor can I disable those 3.

I created a new member level, then clicked select all under the list of member levels. And the only one that was selected was the new one I created.

I found part of the answer.

In the table sys_acl_levels the member levels are defined.

Non-member, Standard, and Promotion are put in there by default at some point in time (I have not yet found this in the code).  By default, these three member levels are set to these values:

Purchasable No

Removable No

That is why they cannot be edited in the Admin panel.

They are all three active, an icon is preassigned, and there is no description.

Any of this could be edited in the database. I do not know what the effect would be in other parts of the software.

I notice that when a new member enrolls, he or she is automatically assigned to the user level of Promotion.  So possibly if you remove the Promotion level, you will not be able to register members.  It is also possible that you cannot make Promotion level purchasable, because there might not be a hook to the payment system at the point of member registration.

Similarly, Non-member may be required for the site to work at all, and of course you cannot make this level purchasable or no one would be able to view your site (possibly including the home page) in order to sign up as a member.

I am continuing to investigate Promotion and Standard. I definitely want to make Standard purchasable, and might possibly want Promotion to be purchasable.

Yes the default 3 are not susposed to be able to be checked. You can change what they are allows to do, but cannot disable them or removed them.

Non member is the default GUEST level.

Standard is the default standard membership level. And promotional is a standard type membership set to expire in 7 days. It is designed to allow members to preview your site as a standard member.

However, the promotional membership can be shut off. Go to the top of the membership page and uncheck allow promotional memberships.

That will then leave only Guest and Standard members operational leaving standard as what will be default when new members signup.

So I can get rid of Promotional, then new members would all be Standard until they purchase a membership (since I'm building a paid membership site).

I looked at Standard pretty closely. I see that standard is needed for those times when a member maybe stops paying for a while. They are not a Non_Member because they have a member id.

I think what I'll end up doing is make Standard have the same access as Non-Member, so if someone stops paying they don't have access to the paid stuff, then set up my paid memberships.

Would be nice to let someone select and pay for a membership at the time they join, instead of a 2 step process. But I can work around it.
