Hi!

So I've installed Proxmox and getting familiar with it. Then I thought, it's probably not good to run/login as root.
So I made a new user from the shell with adduser, then adding "him" to the sudoers.
Works wonders to logon my new user from the terminal over SSH, but not thru the Proxmox web interface.

Does creating users for Proxmox require some additional step or does it has to be done in some other way?
 
You should try to add that user also to PVE using the webui as youruser@pam so its allowed to login to the webui.

That worked better! Cheers =D Follow-up question.. If I've already made a couple of VM's under root, can I give my new user access to those?

Edit: Nvm, found it under permissions. Thanks again. =)
