Admins and non admins. In the usermanagement is a button between the name and the password to toggle. +The Admin can do everything, while a normal user can only start/stop his/her own machine. +If a user has no password set, then that user can only be used for the vms as unix user and not login to nlvmi. +An admin can have its own vms running under his account, or could create a user per vm or per vm-group or such. +Unix users are getting created before a vm gets started.
+There is no cleanup of unused unix accounts by now! + + +**Servers** +At least one server needs to be defined. If the management server also is a KVM host, then the connectstring can be left empty. The Name string does not need to be the actual hostname and could be anything. Remote servers are connected via ssh by using the connectstring. the unix-user nlvmi should be present on the remote-host and the ssh-key needs to be authorized. See the [Install] page for details.
