Hello,

I try to figure out if it is possible to create a Proxmox (pve, not system) user that can login over web, check the state of the KVM VM (but can not change the machine's properties) and also can stop/start/reset the VM.

The idea behind is that we have night shift person who's on duty to monitor if everything is fine (beside of Zabbix and some other monitoring systems we also have). His/her only purpose is to do some easy actions like rare VM restart. We don't want to allow him/her to change anything on the server but we'd like to have him stop/start the VM in a case the OS in it hangs.

I tried to play with ACLs and wasn't able to give the login only monitor and VM shutdown/stop/start/reset rights.
