Resource pool inside resource pool

[JvB]

Hi there,

I am not sure if I am at the correct place to write this, but I would like to do a feature request.

We as a hosting company would like to create resource pools inside resource pools.
We have many label companies with their own customers so we need to be able to set permissions on the top-level resource pool, and separate permissions on the resource pool inside.

just fyi: you can define pools as 'child' pools by using a slash in the name,

so you can create the pool 'foo' and the pool 'foo/bar'

in the gui they won't be shown nested, but i think for the purposes of permissions this should work.

Since PVE8.1[1] (section "Access control") you can have 3 levels of nested resource pool and apply permissions with inheriatance if you use "propagate". I think this is what you are looking for.

Unfortunately, I haven't found that in the manual [2]. The syntax uses slash to create the nested levels:

toplevelpool
toplevelpool/secondlevelpool
toplevelpool/secondlevelpool/thirdlevelpool

Looks like I posted almost at the same time as @dcsapak. Maybe you or @mariol may take a look at the official documentation to mention how to nest pools and that they support permissions inheritance. I've been unable to find that information in the docs.
