Answer 1

Just create "normal" system users with

adduser Username

Then add those users to Proxmox via GUI.

In Datacenter >> Permissions >> Users >>

click adduser and enter just created usernames. It will work.

Because if you create users only in GUI of proxmox, you wont be able to assign a passwd. You must first add an user to the system and then just link it in Proxmox GUI (or /etc/pve/user.cfg) but I recommend to use the GUI way. ( Sometimes, when you edditing a config file directly, cluster can fall apart)

You can assign a password to a proxmox user with following command:

/usr/bin/pvesh set /access/password --userid youruser --password yourpassword
