Proxmox Backup Server supports several authentication realms, and you need to
|
|
|
|
choose the realm when you add a new user. Possible realms are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:pam: Linux PAM standard authentication. Use this if you want to
|
|
|
|
authenticate as Linux system user (Users need to exist on the
|
|
|
|
system).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
:pbs: Proxmox Backup Server realm. This type stores hashed passwords in
|
|
|
|
``/etc/proxmox-backup/shadow.json``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After installation, there is a single user ``root@pam``, which
|
|
|
|
corresponds to the Unix superuser. User configuration information is stored in the file
|
|
|
|
``/etc/proxmox-backup/user.cfg``. You can use the
|
|
|
|
``proxmox-backup-manager`` command line tool to list or manipulate
|
|
|
|
users:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
|

The superuser has full administration rights on everything, so you
|
2020-11-06 14:46:27 +00:00
|
|
|
normally want to add other users with less privileges. You can add a new
|
|
|
|
user with the ``user create`` subcommand or through the web
|
|
|
|
interface, under the **User Management** tab of **Configuration -> Access
|
|
|
|
Control**. The ``create`` subcommand lets you specify many options like
|
|
|
|
``--email`` or ``--password``. You can update or change any user properties
|
|
|
|
using the ``update`` subcommand later (**Edit** in the GUI):

|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-30 14:18:42 +00:00
|
|
|
Any authenticated user can generate API tokens which can in turn be used to
|
|
|
|
configure various clients, instead of directly providing the username and
|
|
|
|
password.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
API tokens serve two purposes:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. Easy revocation in case client gets compromised
|
|
|
|
#. Limit permissions for each client/token within the users' permission
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An API token consists of two parts: an identifier consisting of the user name,
|
|
|
|
the realm and a tokenname (``user@realm!tokenname``), and a secret value. Both
|
|
|
|
need to be provided to the client in place of the user ID (``user@realm``) and
|
2020-10-30 16:01:18 +00:00
|
|
|
the user password, respectively.
|
2020-10-30 14:18:42 +00:00

|
:alt: API secret value
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-30 14:18:42 +00:00
|
|
|
The API token is passed from the client to the server by setting the
|
|
|
|
``Authorization`` HTTP header with method ``PBSAPIToken`` to the value
|
|
|
|
``TOKENID:TOKENSECRET``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Generating new tokens can done using ``proxmox-backup-manager`` or the GUI:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# proxmox-backup-manager user generate-token john@pbs client1
|
|
|
|
Result: {
|
|
|
|
"tokenid": "john@pbs!client1",
|
|
|
|
"value": "d63e505a-e3ec-449a-9bc7-1da610d4ccde"
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The displayed secret value needs to be saved, since it cannot be
|
|
|
|
displayed again after generating the API token.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The ``user list-tokens`` sub-command can be used to display tokens and their
|
|
|
|
metadata:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
# proxmox-backup-manager user list-tokens john@pbs
|
|
|
|
┌──────────────────┬────────┬────────┬─────────┐
|
|
|
|
│ tokenid │ enable │ expire │ comment │
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
└──────────────────┴────────┴────────┴─────────┘
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similarly, the ``user delete-token`` subcommand can be used to delete a token
|
|
|
|
again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Newly generated API tokens don't have any permissions. Please read the next
|

|
|
|
By default new users and API tokens do not have any permission. Instead you
|
|
|
|
need to specify what is allowed and what is not. You can do this by assigning
|
|
|
|
roles to users/tokens on specific objects like datastores or remotes. The
|
2020-10-02 14:12:57 +00:00
|
|
|
following roles exist:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**NoAccess**
|
|
|
|
Disable Access - nothing is allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Admin**
|
|
|
|
Can do anything.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**DatastoreAdmin**
|
|
|
|
Can do anything on datastores.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**DatastoreAudit**
|
|
|
|
Can view datastore settings and list content. But
|
|
|
|
is not allowed to read the actual data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**DatastoreReader**
|
|
|
|
Can Inspect datastore content and can do restores.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**DatastoreBackup**

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**RemoteAdmin**
|
|
|
|
Can do anything on remotes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**RemoteAudit**
|
|
|
|
Can view remote settings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
**RemoteSyncOperator**
|
|
|
|

:alt: Add permissions for user
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Access permission information is stored in ``/etc/proxmox-backup/acl.cfg``. The
|
|
|
|
file contains 5 fields, separated using a colon (':') as a delimiter. A typical
|
|
|
|
entry takes the form:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
``acl:1:/datastore:john@pbs:DatastoreBackup``
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The data represented in each field is as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. ``acl`` identifier
|
|
|
|
#. A ``1`` or ``0``, representing whether propagation is enabled or disabled,
|
|
|
|
respectively
|
|
|
|
#. The object on which the permission is set. This can be a specific object
|
|
|
|
(single datastore, remote, etc.) or a top level object, which with
|
|
|
|
propagation enabled, represents all children of the object also.
|
2020-10-30 14:18:42 +00:00
|
|
|
#. The user(s)/token(s) for which the permission is set
|
2020-10-02 14:12:57 +00:00
|
|
|
#. The role being set
|
|
|
|
|
2020-10-30 14:18:42 +00:00
|
|
|
You can manage permissions via **Configuration -> Access Control ->
|
|
|
|
Permissions** in the web interface. Likewise, you can use the ``acl``
|
|
|
|
subcommand to manage and monitor user permissions from the command line. For
|
|
|
|
example, the command below will add the user ``john@pbs`` as a
|
|
|
|
**DatastoreAdmin** for the datastore ``store1``, located at
|
|
|
|
``/backup/disk1/store1``:

|
|
|

2020-10-30 14:18:42 +00:00
|
|

You can list the ACLs of each user/token using the following command:
|

|
|
|
|
|
|

.. code-block:: console

A single user/token can be assigned multiple permission sets for different datastores.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. Note::
|
|
|
|
Naming convention is important here. For datastores on the host,
|
|
|
|
you must use the convention ``/datastore/{storename}``. For example, to set
|
|
|
|
permissions for a datastore mounted at ``/mnt/backup/disk4/store2``, you would use
|
|
|
|
``/datastore/store2`` for the path. For remote stores, use the convention
|
|
|
|
``/remote/{remote}/{storename}``, where ``{remote}`` signifies the name of the
|
|
|
|
remote (see `Remote` below) and ``{storename}`` is the name of the datastore on
|
|
|
|
the remote.

API Token permissions
|
|
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
API token permissions are calculated based on ACLs containing their ID
|
|
|
|
independent of those of their corresponding user. The resulting permission set
|
|
|
|
on a given path is then intersected with that of the corresponding user.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In practice this means:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#. API tokens require their own ACL entries
|
|
|
|
#. API tokens can never do more than their corresponding user
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Effective permissions
|
|

|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To calculate and display the effective permission set of a user or API token
|
|
|
|
you can use the ``proxmox-backup-manager user permission`` command:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
