With the custom admin account you can manage only via web gui not to Cli.
For creating users from FMC, Go to System > Users create account.

For FTD if you are not using external authentication then you need to create user account via cli.

>connect ftd
Configure user add username config

then enter the password for the user

Thanks I have got the solution form google as below and working fine :

Log into the appliance via SSH using the admin account.
• For the Firepower Management Center, by default this gives you access to the shell. If the Firepower Management Center CLI is enabled, this give you access to the CLI.
• For managed devices this gives you access to the device CLI.
For managed devices, or for a Firepower Management Center with the CLI enabled, enter the expert command to access the shell.
At the shell prompt enter the following command:
sudo passwd admin
When prompted, enter the current admin password to elevate privilege to root access.
In response to prompts, enter the new admin password twice.
