Can't edit features if not logged as root

[raku]

Hi,
I've got a strange problem with Proxmox GUI when I try to edit Features of LXC container. When I'am logged as root, I am able to edit features:


But when I'm logged as other user with admin permissions, I can't:


My user has Administrator privileges:

# /etc/pve/user.cfg
user:raku@pam:1:0::::::
group:administrator:raku@pam::
acl:1:/:mad:administrator:Administrator:

Is there a way I can do this without root account? root account are disabled by default (no password set) on all my systems. I wouldn't enable them if I don't need :-/

hi,

some things are only editable by root because of the possible security implications

not over the GUI i think. but if you give your user sudo permissions then you can edit the file in /etc/pve/lxc/CTID.conf or use pct set command

When I configure Proxmox server, I disable direct access to root account. I set empty password and disable login via password to root.
I can only login:

• to shell via ssh as my user or root with SSH keys only. When I login as my user, I can sudo to root
• to Proxmox GUI as my user with password (root has got no password - root has no access)
• to shell via tty console as my user with password (then sudo to get root privileges).

I've already set extra features by editing /etc/pve/lxc/CTID.conf files. But good to know, I can do it with pct set command. That is enough for me.

It is exactly what I was looking for
But pct set is a perfect workaround for me.
