Users in Group admin via SSH and Console Options

pj1

We have started granting Users administrator (Groups: admins) SSH access.
We noticed using the admin account, the Console options are displayed:

*** Welcome to pfSense 2.5.2-RELEASE (amd64) on pfSense ***

 WAN (wan)       -> igb0       -> v4/DHCP4: 192.168.0.173/24

Enter an option:

We have added so it's identical to the default admin account:
User - System: Shell account access Indicates whether the user is able to login for example via SSH. (admin privilege)

But additional User accounts (within the Groups: admins), drop straight into their home directory into the shell.

Is it possible to configure User accounts to display the Console options too?

You can just add /etc/rc.initial to the end of their .tcshrc file in /home/{user}.

@stephenw10 Thank you.

Be aware that most of those functions won't work for non-root users even if they are in the admin group.

You should install the sudo package, grant access to the admin group users to run things as root, and then run the menu with sudo /etc/rc.initial.

They will be prompted to input their password again unless you configure sudo to allow access without a password.
