Hi everybody,

I have setup a user (PVE realm) in my cluster hat has all Datastore.* privileges.

This user can upload ISO images but cannot use Download from URL. The button is disabled.

What privilege does this user need to use this function?

Regards and Thanks.

Thanks for your fast reply and for pointing to the definition.

Unfortunately Sys.Modify is a way too high privilege for our user.

To be honest, I don't understand the connection between uploading ISO files and Sys.Modify (create/modify/remove node network parameters [1]) and Sys.Audit (view node status/config, Corosync cluster config, and HA config [1]).
I really look forward to the roadmaps point Project "Cattle and Pets" hoping it lets me define the privileges better.

When you download a file, the URL gets resolved on the PVE host itself. If your server is sitting in a locked-down/separate network, this might allow a user to probe for different hosts that they shouldn't even be allowed to access. You can also check the original commit message (with this exact reasoning) here [1]. We've thought about whether this might be too harsh of a restriction, and you're welcome to open a report on our bugzilla instance [2], where others can chime in too.
