Virtualmin / List Virtual Servers / clicking the ‘List’ button on server with 3 users (as seen in image) and I see a list with 1 user.
When I was creating the users (via the domain’s user account), it didn’t give any errors but also didn’t give any confirmation. It simply went back to the “Edit Users” screen. I was attempting to add a “website FTP access user” when this happened.
Am I doing something wrong? Perhaps a setting that I’m overlooking?
I have a registered domain and installed Vm as admin.domain.tld (domain.tld being fake of course), with additional entries being real domains that I have control over (including domain.tld as a user of admin.domain.tld).
If it didn’t do anything, then why does it tell me there are three users? If it didn’t do anything, that’s fine, but how do I reset/fix the counter?
(Note: I’m genuinely asking, in case the question seems defensive or combative.)
Create FTP User. I fill in the email address and password, give it a database to access. When I tried again just a moment ago, it gave me an error that a user with that name already exists, but still isn’t showing up in the list of users.
If you -> Edit Users -> Add user to this server and complete the form You get the option to make the user an Email user and FTP User under Other Permissions (BTW that is also where you grant the user access to a database)
I have never had the need to create a FTP ONLY User and am not even sure why such a thing exists. As you can create an email only user then later make it email and FTP and you can stop email leaving FTP Only.
I would not expect a FTP Only User to appear in a table of Email Users. Also I’m not surprised of a clash if you do have an FTP Only user and try to set up an Email user with the same name. Also I’m not sure how you delete a FTP Only user.
Well to be technical, the top of the page says “FTP Users” and doesn’t say anything about Email users. But that aside, you would think it would list everyone since the menu link says “Edit Users.”
A Website FTP access user is normally it for a web designer to upload there design and that all the access they need, a normal user with email & ftp can’t access the website files (from memory).
So to test my theory (something that I was not explaining very well above) I went back to the VS and unticked the Mail for domain enabled
Then I get a completely different page (“FTP Users”) for → Edit Users` - no real surprise here as the users who previously had email enabled no longer are listed as such.
I mean in the Create FTP User screen. It’s not showing for me. I got the “Mail for domain” enabled so I’m seeing “Mail and FTP Users,” but not the quota section and an invisible user isn’t visible.
The users (1 or 2, I can’t tell from your posts) that are not showing in edit users form can you see them in File Manager in home > yourVPS > homes ? if so what are the owner and mode? The user created by the system when the VPS was created is home > yourVPS.
Do they show up in Webmin > System > Users and Groups?

This may be a silly question but have you tried to create a user with a different name?
