Permission to run qm reset

[Marc Ballat]

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to grant to a specific user the permission to run qm reset or qm reboot.

Thanks in advance.

Marc

The permission you are looking for would be VM.PowerMgmt, be aware that this also includes start/stop/shutdown and all other power management related commands.

Dear Stefan,,

I had tried this earlier before posting but without success :

$ qm status 201 ipcc_send_rec[1] failed: No such file or directory ipcc_send_rec[2] failed: No such file or directory ipcc_send_rec[3] failed: No such file or directory please run as root $

As you can see, even the status operation fails (error message is similar for reset).

Running commands via CLI is root only, I'm afraid. The only way to do it would be to give the specific user permission to run sudo with particular commands. You can define this in the sudoers file. Examples for this can be found in the sudoers documentation: https://linux.die.net/man/5/sudoers

So did I and it works well.

Thank you.
