Description

The manual section which should have this documented, is glaringly empty:

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/usermanager/privileges.html#usermanager-privileges

So it's not clear how one can set up such a user that has a functioning scp/sftp only account.
While this would be useful for various convenience operations, like e.g. automatic config backups, it would also allow certificate creation/renewal to be reasonably safely use FTP Webroot for the challenge mechanism.

Without documentation: no go!
