As the title says, when I change the root password of the PBS server, all nodes lose access to the data store. When I open the datastore in the data center settings of PVE, the password seems to not be able to be changed. I am missing something as I don't understand how the root password is related to datastore access.
PBS data stores show offline after changing root password

Aha, wonderful.
As a side question, root seems like a bad idea. How does the user used for the connection map to permissions? It seems the ACLs in the web front end map to permissions within the web console only and the docs don’t explain it anywhere I can see. Therefore it seems an old school /etc/passwd user is needed. Do they simply need to be in the backup group in /etc/group?

what do you mean? the user which is used to connect to pbs? those are documented: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/user-management.html
in general i'd use a seperate user for the pve -> pbs connection, or an api token
Ok, so

Can backup, restore, and prune owned backups.
refers to on disk permissions too? I understood that to mean permissions to literally click "prune" in the web console and not the on disk permissions. This makes more sense. Thanks!
