      Hi folks, I'll notice when made new user/group for watching statistic and log only, this issue, so I assign right permission to group , but never show up option (Diagnostic>iPerf) when login with my new user.

      This is a bug?

      For replacing this issue:
      Prerequisites; Installed from package manager additional iperf and nmap package too.

      Go to System>User Manager>Groups, then add new group, named everything you want.

      Next save it and edit again to Assign privileges.

      Under Assigned Privileges click "+Add" to show
      Add Privileges for "your new group" like "diagnostic" in my case.

      Go to bottom page,  "Filter" form and  insert "Diagnostic" , apply pilter and next select all showing up into "Assigned privileges" box.

      then Save.

      Make new user and assign the new group previously maded.
      Login with new user credential, you can see not all Diagnostick additional package showing like iperf or nmap.

      Need to open bug ticket for this? I don't know.
      Thanks in advance for any reply. Goodbye.

        Messing with new local groups and users assigned to those is useless until you reboot.

          Well @doktornotor thanks for reply. Thanks for advice but I'll try to reboot, and no luck. :D

          iperf,nmap or iftop menù entry is still  not available for others, just like ntop setting "alone" only shows to me.
          (I mean no ntop link for direct access, you know ntop make two menu entry…)

          And I try to messing (lol) under two pfsense box, one local apu2c4 and one remote asus eeepc running both latest 2.3.3 release.

          Prerequisites are: Installed additional package like nmap iftop iperf.
          My steps are:
          Make new group and assign all Diagnostic stuffs;
          Add new user and assign to my new Diagnostic group;
          Rebooted pfs;
          Login with new users, not show menu entry under diagnostic tab for this packages.

          ****Additionally this steps I reinstalled all packages,

          Relogin with previous user, still missing menù entry. :(

          So I found really a bug into package installer? (lol) Or maybe additional packages missing itself the right script , I dont'know.

          Best regards.

            No, I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by ntop direct access. Only what's available in the package is shown as menu entry, and nothing else.

                Well @doktornotor , I appreciate your interest in this matter, I saw what he did to correct the mistakes of the iperf package in pfsense menu. Thank you very much.
