I am trying to create a user in Proxmox. This user should have admin level of privileges just like root. However, It should just not be able to edit root user to delete it. How to acheive this in proxmox. I am so lost can't figure out a way. Anyone any help please ??

As some threads will show, it's not possible to create a user that can do all the same things as root. Some (VM) settings can only be changed by root.
A user with (almost) all capabilities of the root user can do whatever the root user can do (except for the exceptions mentions above). I don't think this is possible currently.
Maybe add such a feature request to bugzilla.proxmox.com but there might already be request for a non-root user with the same capabilities as root.
A user that can do most admin and also access the shell is possible (after an extra login). But it cannot do everything like assigning PCI passthrough or updating the Proxmox host from the GUI (if I remember correctly).
EDIT: Maybe just try it for yourself to see if it works for you?

perfect that's what I need. May you please help me understand how this can be achieved. Also, this user will be able to create cluster or power off on Vms from shell etc. ?
