Managing Local users on this device is not allowed. Please use the APM active device

I get this message in this menu: Access   ››   Authentication : Local User DB : Instances 

The "Create new instance" button is grey. I am on an active standalone device though...
APM version 15.1.6.1.

Any idea?

    Do you by chance have a device-group defined for this standalone device?

    tmsh list cm device-group

    If so, delete this and test again.

      No device group, no.

       

      cm device-group device_trust_group {
    auto-sync enabled
    devices {
        bigip1 { }
    }
    network-failover disabled
}
cm device-group gtm {
    devices {
        bigip1 { }
    }
    network-failover disabled
}
