Title: SSH for non root account?
Post by: loganx1121 on October 20, 2019, 06:34:54 am

I made an admin account for myself, but I can't use SSH to the firewall with it. I read this in another post somewhere:

Go to the user's properties page, under "Effective Privileges" click "+", select "Users - System - Shell account access" and apply. That should do it.

When I go to "Effective Privileges" I don't seem to have that option. Anyone know what's up? I tried filtering the privileges by "ssh" "user" etc. and I manually checked them but I'm missing something I guess.

Greetings... Have you tried confirming that the Secure Shell options are what you expect them to be?  Just in case:

webgui > System > Settings > Administration > In the middle of that page are the Secure Shell configuration options.
