Hi Steve, tests above were actually made vs. TMOS v13.1.0.6. The open question was about the ability to restore the config or to roll forward. Results look promising. In TMOS v13.1.0.6 I saved a .ucs, performed a 

tmsh load sys config default
and restored from the .ucs. User and role was available after the procedure. Same result after installing TMOS v13.1.0.7 to HD1.2 followed by 
cpcfg HD1.2; switchboot -b HD1.2; reboot
. The new step for v13.1+ was indeed required because the new user got all privileges. There seemed to be no limitations ... After removing the user according to the procedure provided above it worked the same way as in previous versions. Cheers, Stephan
