Hi @MP18
This "nobody" user isn't a legitimate user created in PAN-OS, instead its a user used by the Linux kernel which you can't do anything about.

In this example, "nobody" is a pseudouser which represents a user with the least amount of priveledges. e.g the ngix process is ran as nobody user since it doesn't need any special permissions.
