I have found after migrating to Joomla 5 that the settings are changed to allow super users in the admin.  I have resorted to disabling admin tools to accomplish creating the new user.

Please tell me if it is possible to change a setting to allow that rather than my process.

Set "Disable editing user properties" under Configure WAF, Hardening Options to No. Please note that this feature has been around since 2011.
