multiple-admins

[ka7]

Hi, looks like I found what I was looking for. Until now, I run a root-server at provider, on top a vmware-server. Inside that, some friends and I run there own servers. (now, I look for a KVM solution, as I see the future there. (not in XEN or VMware)) Therefore, each of them has his own account, see only his server, can only do actions (start/stop/console/install) for that server. Is this setup also possible also with proxmox ? (I should really get a testserver to do some tests myself .ka7

Currently there is only 1 admin, but there is a new usermanagment planned for version 2

When 2.0 is expected? Roadmap don't say anything on the timeline

Well, Proxmox is not giving any timeline, as this is opensource project and there are no guarantees regarding what and when will be published. So it can be 1 week, but it may also be 1 year.

If you have any knowledge of Perl, then you could fiddle with the web interface to limit access to the VPS-es. Wat we have done is:
- we used MySQL database to store username, password and xowner (new variable);
- we tweaked pvecreate to add -xowner parameter;
- we tweaked web interface to 'filter' the xowner.

What then happens, is when you create VPS - you have to add xowner (i.e. "aleks"). Then, when entering web interface, we check username and password in MySQL and show only VPS-es which belong to xowner "aleks".

Although this has worked, we have abondoned this concept and made a work-a-round in our own web interface.

Cheers,
Aleks
