Hi,
i have a problem to determine what role or privileges i have to add to user to allow him add cloud-init drive In Hardware. I want to allow users add CloudInit drive on ceph storage. If i add it as Administrator (root), users can modify everything in Cloud-init options. Users now have PVEVMAdmin and PVEDatastroreAdmin roles and cannot add CloudInit drive in Hardware. Thank you for help
 
Did you found a workaround for this?
As i am also not able to add an "cloudinit drive" within the hardware tab (it is grayed out) - it only works when i logged in as "root" or user with "Adminitrator" role
User has "PVEAdmin" right...

Hello drmartins,

the sayed role "PVEAdmin" has already this priviledge:

OK, ill give it a try... as i actualy set the permissions for "/pool/customer" and "/storage/<storage>" level
 
Unfortunaly it doesnt work either - it is still "greyed out"

actualy i set following permissions:

/ @group PVECloudinit
/pool/customer @group PVEAdmin
/storage/localstor @group PVEAdmin
 
I think you need add PVEDatastoreAdmin role to group for your storage becouse cloudinit drive is qcow2 file (or raw when ou have ceph)
 
hmm - i can not imagin that this should be necessary to give an user/group the permission to creat/add cloudinit drives...
and as you have write this in your start topic it did not work for you also
 
Well i wrote that i have user with datastoreadmin but i did not have role PVECloudInit
i have more clusters
i will try to get it work on others and let you know
