Describe the issue you are experiencing

When I restart Home Assistant I find this error message:

I close the error and it seems to work fine until the next restart of Home Assistant

to configure proxmox within Home Assistant I followed the official guide, and until some time ago the error did not exist.

2024.7.1

i can confirm.
honestly this is not the first update to the integration that toggles this kind of error, it would be nice to understand how to find out the specific access right that is rising the error. I definitely did not change anything and i'm not using HA to control proxmox, so i'm also quite curious :)

This has been a reoccurring issue for over 3 months now. At this point, feel like removing the integration all together.

Reverting back to 3.4.2 and this issue is gone.

I'm having the same issue. The documentation is lacking in that area, as it only says the permission is required to

Get information about available package updates to display on sensors

As far as I can see there is no sensor that would correlate to this in my entities list, so we can't disable it if we don't need it.

+1 but I did the workaround of adding the permission for my user in the roles section in proxmox UI

This may just be a documentation issue on the readme page, but would be good to know why this is needed in first place.

[xekil]

In my case I gave all the rights and I get this message each time I launch home assistant...

Is Sys.Modify a valid Proxmox VE permission anymore?

[MassiPi]

I did the workaround of adding the permission for my user in the roles section in proxmox UI

sorry, but this is not a workaround. This is giving not needed permissions to a user. Simply wrong.

Anyone found a fix yet? surprised this hasn't been resolved yet.

I haven't found a fix, but have the same issue. I find it quite strange that the integration needs Sys.Modify rights. The Proxmox documentation clearly states:

Both Permissions.Modify and Sys.Modify should be handled with care, as they allow modifying aspects of the system and its configuration that are dangerous or sensitive.

From a security perspective I find it to be a high risk to give the home assistant integration rights to modify Proxmox node network settings and such.
