Unable to login to proxmox after used add (Urgent)

[ppo]

I did a stupid action. I need to grant access to user to reboot specified VM, so I did:
1) login as root to proxmox web
2) datacenter - user - add (name, linux PAM)
2) datacenter - permission - add user permission (path - "/106", user - select user, role - PVMVMAdmin)
Now I can't login as root to web and to ssh, but I steel have previously opened ssh session as root, please help!

PAM users you add to the proxmox GUI need to be existing PAM users. i.e. you need to

useradd jal
passwd jal

and maybe

passwd root

I have no idea why what you did could possibly lock you out of ssh access tho

Hi,
you can't login via ssh as root? Should possible, because pve don't change the passwd (imho).

What happens if you create your user?
useradd jal
passwd jal

with existing ssh session I did
# passwd
and change password, after that I'm able to open second ssh session and login to web and delete user jal.
existing session save my life due proxmox host in thousands km far of me.

So before adding user in web I should create it in console? and than assign any right?
