Create User with SSH Access

[mhertzfeld]

How would I go about creating a new user account with the ability to locally SSH into pfsense to reboot the machine.

I would prefer the user to only be able to reboot or shutdown the server and not have permissions to change any configurations, write to any files, ect.

Thanks in advance.

System -> User Manager -> Users tab

Create a user and assign it "User - System: Shell Account Access" privileges.

I added "User - System: Shell Account Access" under the users Effective Privileges.

I can log in as the user via SSH but when I use the reboot command I get an error "Operation Not Permitted".

Try adding (not tested myself)
WebCfg - Diagnostics: Reboot system

Maybe it calls the same function.

Adding "WebCfg - Diagnostics: Reboot system" did not work.  Still getting "Operation Not Permitted".
