Newly created User can't login via SSH

[UTK]

So I followed the tutorial to create a new user, so I can de-activate the default user pi.

Everything worked, the user is created and added to adm and sudo groups.

I can also switch to the new user in the active ssh session by typing su <username>. Then it asks for the password and everything works here.

However when I start a new PuTTY session and try to login with the new user credentials it says access denied.

I'd be pulling my hair out, if I had any left! Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

I just finally found the solution! Adding the new user to group ssh fixed it!

sudo gpasswd -a <newuser> ssh

YAY!
