Creating 2nd User with Password Credentials for Web UI

[proxnonwizard]

We would like to create a 2nd and 3rd user in Proxmox web UI with password. The reason being is that each staff member should only have access to the VMs that they
have password credentials to do so. At the moment, we can only create a root user and when we try to create a 2nd user with PAM level access, we can not add a password.

There must be a way to create a separate user on the Proxmox Web UI so that they are only able to access the VMs they have passwords for?

If so, then several staff can log in to the web ui Proxmox at once and access only the VMs they are logged in to. Otherwise, everyone whom just logs in with the single password based login will be able to enter any open VM which is not ideal for shared servers.

Does anyone know how to do this please?

use either pve authentication server or create account in proxmox in shell for pam authentication. PAM authentication is per node basis whereas PVE Authentication is cluster based

Hi, When I tried creating a user pve authentication server, upon logging in, none of the existing VMs appeared. How can I create account in shell? What commands must I use please?

You have to do the following

1. Create user in pve-authentication Server
2. Go to roles and permission for a VM and assign User with appropriate permission
