so checked this with Andy:
- Create Instance: it is a permission to actually see the instance
types in the list of instance types when creating the VM and to be
able to create a VM from that instance type
Wouldn't we want the instance types
to be public, limiting the user on resources according to his Quota?
What worries me is that you currently need VmCreator role on a DC in order to be able to
create VMs there, add disks, and etc.
So, now you would also need to have a CreateInstance permission.
And, in addition, you also need the right Quota.
Why not simplifying things, saying all instance types are public, and you only need
VmCreator role, and the Quota for your new resources?
- Instance Owner: if the user has this permission, he can edit the
fields marked as "Basic User" in the table in the wiki (but not the
others)

Subject: Re: [Engine-devel] Instance Types Feature
Some questions:
1. Why do we need a new set of permissions for "Create Instance" and
"Instance Owner"? Aren't the VmCreator role and the UserVmManager
role enough in these use-cases?
2. iiuc, the internal implementation of instance types and images
will be done using templates. However, I guess we plan to expose
instance types and images as REST resources, right?
Thank you,
Oved
