The steps go like this:
  1. Create a group called "Power_Users", assign it PVEAdmin role. (this is all while logged in as root@pam)
  2. Create user "akulbe" and assign it to Power_Users group.
  3. Browse back to Users screen, highlight "akulbe" and click the "Password" button to reset it.

Is there some part of the process that I am missing, or doing wrong?

Thanks.

PAM are the native Linux users, so you must have created the user beforehand with adduser in the shell. Otherwise you have to take the realm PVE.
