Disable user access to GUI

[z4rp]

Heya,

is it possible at all to disable the GUI for a user? The user in my example has only access to Console and Power Management of one VM.

Im creating a Ticket/Cookie via API which is working well, but by simply opening the normal GUI URL i then am logged into Proxmox.

While i can't do much there, i can change the user password. Maybe its possible to disable at least that?

Hi,
maybe API Tokens fit your use case?

Hey, sorry for the super late answare. Not sure if that would help, since I'd like to use the vm console of Proxmox.

I'll update the post if i get to more testing.

So you'd like to limit access to certain parts of the GUI? While that can be controlled via permissions, a user will always be able to change their own password. Could you describe your use case in more detail?

I basically want to write my own GUI using the Proxmox API. That on itself is easy enough in concept, but i would also like to use the Proxmox VM Console.

From what i remember seeing, the only way to use that console is using cookie authentication, not via api token. Thats where i struggle.
