welp, guess it makes it pretty useless for a provider then, dont need customer A seeing customer B .... was hoping for more, time to deinstall

Your reaction is opposite what you asked. I told you customer A does not sees customer B, and customers cannot create VMs, nor modify it. Its a provider complaint. Thats is what you exactly asked and answered. So no clue what are you meaning, but you are more than welcome to deinstall.

I created a user, it cannot create a VM, whats the purpose then? I created 2 admins, both can see the others VMs. there is no partitioning or privacy, we dont want admin A) to see Admin B vms, i dont see where you explained that because its not what we see.

Thank you for clarify your question now it makes sense to me. You should create VM through admin account and assign it to the user. Or do the same on API interface.

Once users is assigned to the VMs basic command will available to manage their VMs. I dont see a purpose to allowing users to creating VMs.

From a provider perspective, customers should be able to create / install their own vms which is why i started to look for ways to automate deployment, where in the other messages you suggested we "preinstalled disk image and create your own way to automatize through API interface" so yeah we are looking for a solution to serve customers.

I understand by default I provide with this software a clean and basic interface which is mostly fit for multipurpose usage. You are looking into a more refined product for mass-vps hosting. These are mostly custom-made. No role/quota management planned to have in this software. ProxMox has.

In any other case I suggest to check up on API interface.
