Hi everyone. I am trying to create a user that can only restart VMs. I created the user, I created a custom role, I created a pool, I assigned all the VMs to this pool and I gave the user permission to that pool. When I log on as said user I see nothing. when I log in as root and look at the permissions the pool shows the user and all of the VMs and the power_mgt role. What am I doing wrong? I have been beating my head against this wall and I fell like I have done everything correctly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
**EDIT** when I log into the user and go to User->Permissions I see the ppol and all the VMs with power_mgt =yes but I can't see the pool or the VMs to restart them. Thanks again!

Hi @Biggin747 , you'd need to provide actual system state for a meaningful analysis:

# 1. See the pool and what's in it
pvesh get /pools/<poolname> --output-format json

# 2. See ALL ACLs in the cluster
pveum acl list

# 3. Check the custom role's actual privileges
pveum role list
pveum role list power_mgt
# or: pvesh get /access/roles/power_mgt

# 4. Check what roles/permissions the user has
pveum user permissions <user>@<realm> --output-format json

# 5. Double check the user
pveum user list

# 6. Confirm the VMs are actually assigned to the pool (not just visible in GUI cache)
pvesh get /pools/<poolname>


Please use CODE </> tags when providing the output.

Thank you for providing the info but its not in the format that is friendly to reading. Possibly because you lost the opening tag.

If you look at the text-toolbox of the post/reply you will see an icon </> that will help you to get text into a good shape.
