Created user in jail with wheel group cannot execute commands?

[Dudenell]

Trying to install hass.io on a jail in freenas

Created a user, assigned them the group wheel, enabled ssh, set a root password.

So I can ssh into the jail, however when I attempt the following

Code:

pw groupadd -n homeassistant -g 8123

I get the message

Code:

pw: gr_tmp(): Permission denied

When I try

Code:

su pw groupadd -n homeassistant -g 8123

I get the message

Code:

su: Sorry

Not sure what I'm missing here... verified the user is in the wheel group...

Does this work if you type su instead, input the root password, then try your command?
