I have tried to log in to my PI via SSH using PuTTy and it does not work for a root user. I can see in the dashboard of the web GUI of OMV that when I can log in to my PI account it all works flawlessly and I have enabled SSH on the OMV profile. However, when I try to log in as a root user via SSH, it does not work (I have tried all of the default passwords and the ones I have set for my PI and OMV logons). Can anybody help me?
I did not have an option to create a root user when installing OMV and so I now cannot SSH to my RPI4 with a root user (Noobie)

There's no root password on the Pis unless you create one which means there's no access with it.
If you installed OMV via the proper guides (the ones on this forum), your user Pi should be already added to SSH && SUDO group.
You can confirm it via the OMV GUI under Users-> Users
If pi isnt' on SSH && SUDO group, add him, reboot and try again.

Should I create a root user then?
The root user exists on ALL Linux, you don't have to create it.
For safety reasons, it's usually passwordless to prevent being used as a user.
If a user is added to sudo group, it will have root capabilities whenever it's needed.
What you need to answer is if the proposed solution on post #2 worked for you or not.
