# 1. Setup a new Group

Now, TrueNas just as Proxmox allows you to create different users and groups with different permissions. It can get pretty advanced but we will just set the basics. The first group that we would like to create is the group with GPID:1000. The reason that we do this is because if you will setup Dataset NFS shares to your Proxmox VM's it is handy to have the same group ID and user ID for permissions. The reason we do 1000 is because linux assigns 1000 to the first non root group and user by default.

We start by creating a group in TrueNas scale because we can then assign that group to the user we will create afterwords.

1. Go to Credentials > Groups
2. Change the GID from 3000 > 1000
3. Create a group name. I would recommend to use the same group and username you use for your VM's
4. For privileges you can choose **local administrator** for now s.t it will become the new root user of your TrueNas instance instead of truenas\_admin
5. Then simply hit save

# 2. Setup a New User

Now that the group has been created you can add users to this group. Simply go again to Credentials > Users > + Add

1. Now the first user you should create as discussed is the user with ID: 1000. This is the first user different from the truenas\_admin user.
2. Simply go to
