No permissions on dektrium user admin index action - yii2-advanced-app

Question

I installed dektrium user but when override the AdminController.php and tried to reach admin/index what I get is Forbidden(403). After overriding the behaviors to:
'rules' => [
[
'allow' => true,
'roles' => ['?'],
],
],
the error is still the same. Did this because I still don't have any roles. What can cause this behavior ? I am aiming at the origin index.php ( the one in the dektrium\yii2-user module). Thank you!

You need to follow these rules to override controllers for dektrium-user
directory structure
You can change the following if you want it into the frontend, only starting folder needs to be changed
- backend
- controllers
- user
- AdminController
Your config for the user module under the module section should look like following
'modules' => [
..............
'user' => [
'controllerMap' => [
'admin' => 'backend\controllers\user\AdminController' ,
] ,
For overriding the controller with a new action index your minimum code should look like below
AdminController
<?php
namespace backend\controllers\user;
use dektrium\user\controllers\AdminController as BaseAdmin;
class AdminController extends BaseAdmin {
public function behaviors() {
$behaviours = parent::behaviors ();
$behaviours['access']['rules'][] = [
'allow' => true ,
'actions' => [ 'index' ] ,
'roles' => [ '?' ]
];
return $behaviours;
}
public function actionIndex(){
return $this->render('index');
}
}
