[PVE-User] Question regarding resource pools and assigning not yet used IDs

[proxmox at elchaka.de]

As far as i know you can just define 

Start id
End id

Via datacenter - options - next free vmid...

This is valid for a cluster or a single mode installation if i am not wrong

What I understand is that once a VM is created and has an ID assigned some admin with higher privileges needs to assign said VM to a resource pool so that it than can be managed by the respective group.
