## Symptoms

- * A user created in Gaia Portal with '`/bin/bash`' shell and '`monitorRole`' role gets admin permissions upon login - this user is able to execute any command in Expert mode and in Clish.

* Output of '`id`' command in Expert mode shows:  

  `uid=0(admin) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)`

## Cause

When a user is created in Gaia Portal, its UID is set to "0", which is equivalent of the '`adminRole`' role.

This is *not* a security issue.
