Hi @robjsinger
Are you using multisite? And when you say admin, do you mean super admin or just plain ol’ admin?
Also, which theme are you using? Plugins activated?
Hello, I have a similar problem.
WP 4.1.1 + BP 2.2.1 Entrance to the site is carried out as the creator of websites (Super Admin).
I using multisite WP, when buddypress included as common to all sites – all works well,
when buddypress enabled separately for each site, the error appears on the tab Manage Signups – Pending – Error “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” (wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-signups)
example:
http://prntscr.com/6lh8x8
I click on Pending (0)
http://prntscr.com/6lh9tt
the error persists at all sites.
@salexys,
when buddypress enabled separately for each site, the error appears.
WP Multisite is not a multi network ! So i guess you have to enable BP on the main site only, not on each site of your network.
As you have a MS install and BP, you now have a network admin. And a normal WP admin for each site, including the main site. At least 2 admin dashboard.
Page not found error on MS is a common issue due to cookies and generally because the site admin is using a user account or logged out for testing something on front-end and omited to close the admin tab in his browser. 99% chance you encountered this situation. 😉
I have one administrator account on all sites, trying to register on the site with a different browser as a user, I come as an administrator in the first browser, the problem persists. Cokkies I delete, does not help.

@salexys There is only one instance of BuddyPress for a WordPress Multisite installation even if is network-activated. You’d want to check out “F. BuddyPress Multinetwork” in this page https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/installation-in-wordpress-multisite/
Error: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
This happens when clicking on ‘Pending’ in Users when BuddyPress is activated only on main site of multisite install but, you can see pending users at /wp-admin/network/users.php?page=bp-signups i.e. network side.
@imath posted a working patch for this issue which is scheduled for BP 4.4 branch (hopefully)

Hope this helps.
