998 likely means the user does not exist.

Unfortunately, you did not fill out the bug reporting template. Unless you fill that in, there's not much we can do so this Issue will likely be closed (unless you update it with more information).

Admin is the administrator account. I created a new account managed by admin. When I log in to this account and go to the "users" page, I can’t see the administrator account. Could this be the reason for the error? @joshtrichards

if admin is your manager, it means you're not an admin.
You cannot see or edit the admin user
