PVE users permissions question

Hi all,

I've got my cluster going, and have no problems with Linux PAM Authentication for most of my work. I'm now to a point where I need to add some users.

In general, for users that just need access to a specific VM, I can just add the user and in the specific vm give them permissions. Now if I need a user to be part of a group that has overall cluster administrative role - this is where I run into a problem.

I don't fully understand the path entry for permissions. If I want to create a group that has full administrative rights, do I just set the path to / (will it give management control on the nodes themselves as well as the VMs and datacenter storage)? if I want a group to just have administrative rights over a specific node (including all vms on that node) do I do something like /pve-3 ? The wiki honestly is lacking when it comes to describing how the path works beyond if you want to assign a group to a specific virtual machine, storage object or a pool...
 
Hi,
the path system is the same what we have in pvesh.
The easiest way to understand it, is to use pvesh on terminal.
