Hi there,
I created a Virtual Server for my domain with an associated administration user that is perfect for administrating my domain, but when I need to make modification on the system through webmin or modifications on the Virtual Servers (create, delete…) I can’t do it with my domain administration user, I have to log on webmin/virtualmin using root to be able to do all these modifications.
So I’m wondering wether it’s possible or not to make a virtual server administrator able to do everything in webmin/virtualmin, exactly as root is able to do.
I already tried 2 methods, but without success :
-
create a webmin account from a copy of root, and try to make it the administration user of my domain virtual server, but all the way I tried failed…
-
make my virtual server administrator a webmin user using “Convert Unix To Webmin Users”. Then “Edit webmin user” bypassing the warning saying this user is managed by virtualmin, and check all the available webmin module. This way I got only domain limited modification and only access to the virtualmin part when logged in. This was with authentic theme, but with the virtualmin framed theme, it was better, because the webmin part was fully accessible and populated. But still no possibility to create/delete virtual servers on the virtualmin side…
So when I see the difficulty to make this working, I think it’s maybe the system is not designed for this, and my idea is a bad one…
Actually the only user I found able to manage virtualmin virtual servers is root, even a new webmin user copied from root, is not able to do same as root, I mean add/remove virtual servers…
But the thing is that I found many times on the net that it’s basic security to disable webmin root login, and create a different login user with full rights to manage the system (webmin) and the virtual servers (add/remove/import…)
Am I missing something ? I don’t know where to look at now…
