TrueNAS CORE administrator access change

TrueNAS General
1

Version: TrueNAS-13.0-U6.8

By default, root login is available with the password specified during installation (installed four years ago). I changed the default password and now want to disable root access to the web panel, but adding Permit Sudo to the user or setting wheel as the primary group prevents the specified user from logging in to the web panel as an administrator.

Google searches for instructions using neural networks, ChatGPT, and other similar methods yield solutions for TrueNAS Scale.

How to correctly add a new administrator and safely disable root

Not at all.

TrueNAS CORE does not support any admin login but root.

On core, root is the only user that has access to the webui.
On scale you can add users to the buildin_administrators group and they gain access to the webui
