Module access control for users in Webmin

Once a user has been given access to the module, you can limit him to just mounting or un-mounted selected filesystems by following these steps :

In the Webmin Users module, click on Disk and Network Filesystems next to the user’s name to bring up the access control form.

Change the Can edit module configuration? field to No to stop him from configuring the module to use a different fstab file or mount commands.

In the Filesystems that can be edited field, select Under listed directories and enter a list of mount points into the adjacent text box.

For example, you might enter /mnt/floppy /mnt/cdrom. It is also possible to enter a directory like /mnt to allow access to all filesystems under it.

Change the Can add new filesystems? field to No.

Change the Only allow mounting and unmounting? field to Yes, so that the user cannot actually edit filesystem details.

Hit the Save button to activate the new restrictions.
