Admin user can't access users/groups

[havastamas]

I have ran into a problem with my pfsense box. (Lastest stable build)

I have created a user, and added it to (default) admin group. I have disabled the default admin user, and re login with my new user. I can do anything with the new user, but when I want to add/manage users, I see only password field on users page.

Any idea/solution how can I solve this problem? (without serial/local access to the hardware itself?)

Thanks for the help!

Download the patches package and install the following

Thanks for the fast reply! It solved my problem. BTW it's a common bug, or I did something wrong?

Nope it was something that occurred with the release of 2.4.4_p3

@NogBadTheBad Hir sir, I already installed the package of system patches and when I click fetch button it says Patch Failed. My box has the current version 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3. Thanks

The fetch failed.

So, what are you fetching ?

@Gertjan I am trying to fix this issues because I cant add another user. This is the issue from user manager, but when i click the fetch button it says Patch Fetch Failed. This is the thing that i want to patch https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/cf529cbe33ae53f3f95b37a227da141b97465f20.patch

The URL you used is just fine.

When I clicked on "Fetch", it was successful..

On your system, pfSense can't go outside (== loading something from https://github.com/.... ), you should investigate that issue.

@Gertjan Thank you very much sir.

I have this issue too but I'm not familiar with patching a pfSense. I added the system patch package. However, I need a little guidance on what to do with the link to the patch above and the respective fields.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I have another symptom but not sure if it is related to this patch.

I created a new user, User1, and added the user to the ADMIN group.

I login with User1 and it appears I can do some administration but when I try to add VLANs or edit new assignments, I end up at the WAN assignment page. However, when I use the admin account, it works as I would expect it to.

I look forward to some guidance on how to apply this patch.

@pfsense16v said in Admin user can't access users/groups:

I look forward to some guidance on how to apply this patch.

To apply the patch you need the patch package - and the URL as shown above.
The rest is a 3 click procedure.

I guess it's worth applies the patch - at best it solves your issue - at worst you found another issue.

@NogBadTheBad

What I'd like to know is this: I'm on 2.4.4-RELEASE-p3 now. Why wasn't/isn't this issue already patched and included in the release I'm on?

[stephenw10]

Because it was only introduced in 2.4.4p3. It will be fixed in the next release.
