Re: [Engine-devel] Permissions involved in using REST API
the main difference between an 'admin' and a 'user'
is that admin has
read-only permission to see all objects in the system, and a user can
only see objects they have permissions on.
But this distinction does not apply to API access, apparently; regular
users cannot access the API at all as far as I can tell. I wouldn't
mind giving API users 'admin' status if that's what it takes, but I'm
concerned about the meaning of 'admin' changing in the future.
I think the trouble here is that by doing it this way oVirt is presuming
what the access policy is by baking rights into the 'admin' status. On
a site-by-site basis the definition of 'admin' is going to vary.
