Hi,

I have added my user in haclient group-  
$ id  
uid=1000(user1) gid=100(users) groups=100(users),90(haclient)

But still when I run crm status or crm\_mon commands they fail with permission denied error -  
/usr/sbin/crm status  
ERROR: status: crm\_mon (rc=13): Connection to cluster failed: Permission denied

/usr/sbin/crm\_mon -1

Connection to cluster failed: Permission denied

What additional setting I need to be doing to make the cluster managed through my user, which is not root ?

Hi,

you can find detailed information about non-root users in the [docs](https://www.suse.com/documentation/sle-ha-12/singlehtml/book_sleha/book_sleha.html#app.crmreport.nonroot)? The user required sudo permissions and a passwordless login via ssh.

Regards,  
Eugen

Have you tried via `sudo crm_mon -r1`
