Hello,

Currently a SSH connection with the root account is used for vm migration between proxmox nodes on the same cluster.
Is-it possible to use another account with sudo permissions ?

Thanks.
 
No the use of the root-user is hard-coded in quite a few places in the code base.

You can however disable ssh-login for root without password (PVE uses ssh-keys for authentication) - if that helps in your environment
