Panel remains empty (no pages) with newly created role (subadmin)

I created a new role (subadmin) with the intent to grant almost all permission the admin has. When logged in with person@email.com, the panel is empty. It shows the sections I made, but no pages appear (“No pages yet”). This person does have access to Languages, Users and System and does have permissions to change (as i copied the default.yml from users).

Procedure I went through

  1. added the role to blueprints > users > subadmin.yml by copying the default.yml file
  2. changed the title to Subadmin
  3. as admin, assigned this role to a user (person@email.com)

When I change the role of person@email.com back to its original (editor.yml with restrictions) the pages do show up.
