openmediavault-admin group

Quote from Cannondale

However, the openmediavault-admin group is not displayed on the User Management | Groups | Edit screen.

System groups are not displayed. Since this should not be a common thing to do, you should just use the command line

sudo usermod -a -G openmediavault-admin USERNAME

I still don't understand peoples obsession with this..

This prevents many people from having access to the official admin account and provides the ability to track config changes by user.

Except that giving someone openmediavault-admin privileges is effectively giving the user full root. They could remove their tracks if they wanted to.

Bingo!

Thanks for the information ryecoaaron! This is a workable solution.

This OMV server will provide file sharing services to users in a medium sized office setting. Having a few designated users who have admin rights would seem to be a common occurrence. This prevents many people from having access to the official admin account and provides the ability to track config changes by user.

Honestly, that makes it an even WORSE idea.

OMV isn't targeted at corporate use.

Code

Good morning,
I would like to return to the subject because the separation of permissions is important to allow good management in the context of corporate use.

example: I am the administrator and my client wants to view logs or take x action

In this case, allowing a user to have to go through the main administration group is a significant point of weakness.

The UI is not client-capable. This function was not planned from the outset as it is not required in the area of application for which OMV is intended.
