💻 I-D-2. Creating Users and Groups: Utilizing Datacenter -> Permissions

 

👥 #ProxmoxVE #Permission Management Basics: Guide to Creating #Users and #Groups

Even if you #use your #ProxmoxVE #server #alone, it's #recommended to #separate a #general #operation #account from the #top #administrator #account, #root, for #security and #management #efficiency

If the #environment requires #multiple #users to #access, setting up #Access #Control to #grant only the #minimum #necessary #permissions to each #user is #essential

#Proxmox allows you to #intuitively #handle all this #user, #group, and #permission #management through the #Permissions #menu at the #Datacenter #level

This post will #detail how to #create a #new #user and how to #create #groups for #Role #Based #Access #Control (#RBAC)


1. #Understanding the #Datacenter #Permissions #Menu

The #creation of #users and #groups is a #global #configuration that #takes #place at the #Datacenter #level

A. #Permission #Management #Access #Path

  1. #Log into the #Proxmox #webconsole

  2. #Select #Datacenter in the #left #navigation #panel

  3. #Click the #Permissions #tab in the #Datacenter's #main #panel

B. #Structure of the #Permissions #Tab

  • #Users: The #menu for #creating, #modifying, and #deleting #individual #login #accounts

  • #Groups: The #menu that allows you to #manage #multiple #users as #one #bundle and #grant #permissions #collectively

  • #Roles: #Templates that #define a #set of #specific #tasks (#VM #creation, #rebooting, #etc.), which are #assigned to #users or #groups

  • #Permissions #Area: The #main #configuration #area for #assigning #specific #permissions by #linking #actual #users/#groups with #resources (#VMs, #Nodes, #Storage, #etc.)


2. #Steps to #Create a #New #Management #Group



It's #better to #create a #group #first before #user #creation for #permission #management #efficiency (e.g., the #VMAdmins #group)

A. #Accessing the #Groups #Menu

  1. #Navigate to #Datacenter -> #Permissions -> #Groups #tab

  2. #Click the #Create #button at the top

B. #Entering #Group #Information

  • #Name: #Enter the #group's #name (e.g., vm-operators)

  • #Comment: #Enter a #description for the #group (#optional)

  1. #Click #Create to #complete the #group #creation


3. #Steps to #Create a #General #Operation #User

An #individual #user #account is the #actual #connecting #entity that can #log in #via a #username and #password

A. #Accessing the #Users #Menu

  1. #Navigate to #Datacenter -> #Permissions -> #Users #tab

  2. #Click the #Add #button at the top

B. #Entering #User #Information

  • #Username: #Enter the #user #name to be #used for #login (e.g., user01)

  • #Realm: #Select the #authentication #realm (#default: pam - #local #Linux #authentication)

  • #Password: #Enter and #confirm the #new #password

  • #Group: #Select the #group to #which the #user #will #belong (#select vm-operators #created in the #previous #step)

  • #Enabled: #Check the #account #activation #status (#default is #active)

  1. #Click #Add to #complete the #user #creation


4. #Basics of #Assigning #Permissions to #Created #Users



Even after #creating #groups and #users, #explicit #permission #granting is #necessary for them to #access and #perform #tasks on #actual #resources

A. #Utilizing the #Permissions #Tab

  1. #Return to the #Datacenter -> #Permissions #tab

  2. #Click #User #Permission or #Group #Permission next to the #Add #button at the top (#granting #permissions to a #group #increases #management #efficiency)

B. #Setting #Permission #Assignment #Fields

  • #Path: #Specify the #scope of the #resource to #grant #permission to

    • #Example: / (#entire #Datacenter), /vmid/100 (#specific #VM)

  • #User/#Group: #Select the #user or #group to #receive the #permission

  • #Role: #Select the #set of #permissions to #grant

    • #Example: #VMAdmin (#VM #management #permission), #PVEAdmin (#all #permissions), #VMViewer (#view #only #permission)

#Proxmox's #RBAC #model enables #powerful and #finegrained #access #control, and the #advanced #process of #permission #assignment will be #covered in the #next #lecture
