      I am creating an additional local user on a pfSense in order to disable the default admin account. I have added the user account to the admins group. When I login with that user and click on System > User Manager, I don't get the User Manager. Instead, I am prompted to change the password of the user with which I am logged in. Even after attempting a successful password change, it still does not present the User Manager. How do I resolve this? Thank you.

      This is a Netgate SG-1000 with v.2.4.4-RELEASE-p3.

        If you install the System_Patches package, you can apply patch cf529cbe33ae53f3f95b37a227da141b97465f20 to fix it.
