Hi, You can add users as you would on a regular centos host, and they should be preserved after upgrades AFAIK. You'd probably get some "nodectl" warnings (nodectl must run as root) when you log in, but that shouldn't be a problem. Thanks, Yuval.

Hello,

my colleague is asking if is possible to define a certain user on our hosts. I know that the rule is to avoid installations and changes to hosts running ovirt-node, but in this case the user creation should have a very minimum impact. He's running HP uCMDB that makes an ssh connection to the host for grabbing some system information to populate it's DB.

Is possible to create a new user? Does this user is preserved with upgrades? Is possible also to allow this new user to run 4 (exactly 4) commands through sudo?
