Initial Settings : Add Local User Accounts2026/04/08 |
|
To add a new local user to a Proxmox VE host, configure it as follows. |
|
| [1] | Log in to the Proxmox VE management console, select your hostname in the left pane, and click [Shell] from the menu on the left of the right pane. |
|
| [2] | You can add a local user using commands from the shell. The procedure for adding a new user is the same as for the base system, Debian. |
|
| [3] | With the above steps, you can now access the Proxmox VE host via SSH using the added local user. |
|
| [4] | If you want to log in to the web management console with the added local user, additional configuration is required. Log in to the Proxmox VE management console as the [root] user, select [Datacenter] in the left pane, and click [Users] from the menu on the left of the right pane. |
|
| [5] | Click the [Add] button at the top. |
|
| [6] | Enter the added local username, select [Linux PAM Standard authentication] under [Realm], and click [OK]. |
|
| [7] | Once successfully registered, it will appear in the list. |
|
| [8] | Check if you can log in with the added user. While logging into the management console with only local user privileges limits the operations you can perform, granting administrator privileges to the Proxmox VE system to the added local user (referencing [5] and subsequent sections) will enable you to perform a variety of management operations. |
