Do you use the "Create a New User" custom admin page (https://dev.archlinux.org/devel/newuser/), or go into the "Add User" (https://dev.archlinux.org/admin/auth/user/add/) page? And as far as perm groups go, the future is now- that is what actually matters these days. I'm going to make that a bit more straightforward in the future so we don't have too much information duplication like we do now. -Dan
