2.0 Proxmox Users and Groups

Adding New Users 

 

 Access the Proxmox GUI by entering the static IP you gave it into a web browser appending :8006 (the port) to it as well 

 

 The default login for Proxmox is: root 

 The password is what you set during installation 

 For security reasons, change/disable the root account and remove it from the Administrator group after you've made a user account 

 

 

 

 

 EXAMPLE OF THE STATIC IP AS 10.0.0.5:8006 AND CORRECTLY GIVING THE PROXMOX LOGIN PAGE: 

 

 Click on Datacenter > Users > Add 

 

 Allow user to set their own username and password 

 Appoint user into appropriate group
