Can't Create Users or Groups - No Permissions
«

I am running version 18.7.7 in HA cluster
We use the local database for authentication of users
When logged in as root on the primary fw, it is not possible to create a new User or a new User Group.
The error message is:
You do not have permission to perform this action.
What am I missing here?

I think I have a bigger problem with the permissions.
When logged in as root, I can create a Backup, but I can't restore a backup configuration
Any help on where to look?

Sure, this is a security fix of 18.7.7 in action:
https://github.com/opnsense/changelog/blob/master/doc/18.7/18.7.7#L5-L11
Your root user, for one reason or another, has the "deny-config-write" privilege which prevents you from doing these things.
If you have another admin, simply remove that from the root user or the offending group...
Cheers,
Franco

I don't have another admin user.
How and where do I remove the "deny-config-write" privilege to be able to add more users and user groups?

Gentlemen,
I desperately need to fix this issue to allow me to add users and user groups.
The suggested solution does not help me at all.
I have no idea where and how to remove the "deny-config-write" privilege.
Can someone please explain to me how to do this, given that I don't have another user with admin privileges?

Do you have SSH access?
