      So I'm able to ssh into my router from the WAN using the admin account.

      But I can't ssh into it when using any other accounts that I've created, even if they are under the admin group. It says access denied.

      I'm sure this is something simple to fix, I just can't find where.

        OK so it looks like the admin group does not have ssh access by default. I had assumed it did. I added the ability for SSH access to that group, but I'm still unable to ssh in with a user created under the admin group.

          The admin group should have access, but apparently does not.

          It looks like any group you give ssh access does not get it setup properly, but if you add it manually to a specific user then they do get it.

          I opened a ticket for this:

          I also found two other user manager issues while testing that.
