How do I create a non root admin user?

[gregf]

Hi, I'm new to proxmox and I'm trying to create a user with full access to proxmox that isn't the root user.

I added a new pve user and tried following the instructions on the wiki for creating a admin group / user, but they don't seem to have access to anything once logged in. This is what I did.

pveum useradd testuser@pve -comment "Just a test"
pveum passwd testuser@pve
pveum groupadd admin -comment "System Administrators"
pveum aclmod / -group admin -role Administrator
pveum usermod testuser@pve -group admin

i did the same here (but via the gui) and had no problems

what exactly didn't you have access to?

some things are restricted to the "pam" realm and some things are restricted to thte "root@pam" user (although we want to change this in the future)

I had access to no nodes, and I could create a mv or ct. It looked liked a user without any rights.

can you post the content of your /etc/pve/user.cfg after those commands (remove/obfuscate all sensible data if any)
and a screenshot of when you logged in?
