Bug: Adding a user to a group in the UI no longer adds them to the unix group

[davidolrik]

Hi,

I have just discovered a small bug regarding user group membership:

When editing a user in the UI, adding or removing a user from a group no longer updates the unix group membership.

Bug seen on OPNsense 25.1.4_1-amd64

It is possible that you encounter the following:

OPNsense 25.1 released

o The access management was rewritten in MVC and contains behavioural changes including not rendering UNIX accounts for non-shell users. [...]

I don't think so, I have 4 installations with OPNsense 25.1.4_1-amd64 and only one of them is exhibiting the problem.

All of the users are non-admin accounts with a shell configured so they can be used as a jump host.

The UI renders fine, but adding or removing group membership has no effect.

As a workaround, I've just added the user to the unix group manually like so `sudo pw group mod ssh -m <username>`

That won't survive a reboot, IIRC.

It does indeed survive a reboot.

Interesting, thanks. What about doing any modification on users and/or groups in the UI and clicking "save"?
