Hii Community,
I have been trying to create a new user from another user i.e. except the root user. I have given all the privileges to my primary user even then my primary user is not able to create a new user it says, "You do not have permission to perform this action."
Can anyone please tell me if it is not possible in OPNsense to create a user except the root user? if not then please guide me on how can I achieve this.
Thanks for the support over the time. Looking forward for a positive response.
Best,
Harry!
Hi Harry,
Assign the "All pages" privilege which means administrator (root, wheel) rights. And DO NOT add "System: Deny config write".

Hi Franco,
Thanks a ton for your quick help! You are a genius! Your suggestion worked, and I successfully created a new admin user with the necessary privileges. However, I noticed this new admin can change the root password. Is there a way to restrict such changes to ensure the root user's security?
Although I have gone through this thread https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=24576.0 (https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=24576.0) But wondering if there is any new update regarding the same?
Best,
Harry
Hi Harry,
No, there is no way to prevent an administrator from messing with other administrators.
