I am running a game server in a container, I was thinking about how it would be nice to be able to give someone else the ability to login and perform a restart of a container, and then I got to thinking that UnRaid could have a full User Permission system, which could be handled via the GUI. (CLI too of course)

 

Imagine a world...

 

Where you could assign users granular permissions to VM's, Containers, plugins and other permissions. Users with limited rights would only see GUI access for objects they have rights to view.

Containers:

• Permission to Manage\edit a specific container or multiple containers.
• Permission to add a new container.
• Permission to stop\restart a container.
• Permission to see container logs.

 

Virtual Machines

• Permission to Manage\edit a specific VM or multiple VMs.
• Permission to provision a new VM.
• Permission to stop\restart a VM.
• Permission to see VM logs.

 

Plugins:

• Permission to install plugins
• Permission to remove plugins.

 

Unraid Settings:

• Granular user permissions to allow the ability to manage the array. Start/Stop the array.

 

Essentially extend user permissions past the file system into every aspect of Unraid.

 

Etc, so on and so forth.

 

Now tell me why my idea is a horrible one and I should have never had it

Because it's too much work to implement securely?😀
