Dear Scott,

You're not wrong, console reports the error:

All of the forbidden issues could be misleading, but along with the server-side permissions issues that leads me to believe it could be a combination of both the issue you suggest and another one underlying?

We have to go with full release versions ideally as the ovirtengine is in production, I'd rather avoid the master branch version.

Regards,
Callum

Callum,

If you are seeing the error when opening the console from VM Portal (web-ui), this sounds a lot like issue [1].  A patch against the ovirt REST api was done to help mitigate some errors that should not happen.  I'll take a look to see how it is working in the current master snapshot of ovirt-engine and VM Portal.

What version of oVirt are you using?


Regards,
Scott Dickerson

Thanks Greg, it really would be great to resolve this and would really like to not have to clean install the engine on a new hostname (especially without a guarantee that it will work). Migrating is a significant portion of work.

Callum

Dear All,

Please see the errors below. I'm seeing this in the engine.log when as a user I'm trying to activate either a VM console or reboot a VM which I have access to as a user ("UserRole permission assigned to VM).
