Commvault Cloud software uses Proxmox VE permissions for protection operations in your Proxmox cluster. The software uses these permissions only to access storage, and VM configuration information that is required to back up and recover VMs, and to clean up intermediate entities that are created by Commvault Cloud during those operations.
Note
If a user is PAM user, then you must manually add the user to each node in the Proxmox cluster. For example, if you create testuser1@pam in the GUI, then you need to add testuser1 to each node and ensure that password is same across all nodes.
For more information on user permissions, see Proxmox Documentation.
The following sections list the permissions required for users to perform Proxmox VE backup and restore operations.
