How to Disable Root After Migrating from CORE to SCALE?

TrueNAS General

After migrating from CORE to SCALE, I created an Admin account (as suggested by the migration guide), gave its Group ‘Local Administrator’ Privileges and ensured its Password is Enabled. However, when I try to Disable the migrated root user’s Password, I receive the following error message:

“After disabling password for this user no password-enabled local user will have built-in privilege ‘Local Administrator’.”

How do I fix this?

P.S. This is my second time creating this Topic. I accidentally deleted the first one. Apologies.

You can create a new user and make them a member of the builtin administrators group.

So, just to confirm: the new user should be added to the builtin_administrators and not builtin_users, correct?

Yes. Do that, make sure user has shell and homedir, then you should be able to log in to the UI using that user.
