# Create a named PVE admin user (Administrator role) so root@pam can be
# reserved for emergencies. Generates a random initial password, printed
# once - change it and enable TOTP on first login (Datacenter -> Permissions
# -> Two Factor, or the user icon menu in the top right).
#
# Idempotent - if the user already exists, does nothing (won't reset an
# existing password). Run as root on the PVE host.
#
# Usage: ./create-admin-user.sh <username> (realm is always @pve)
