This announcement was about UI plugins in WebAdmin. If you use
Engine REST API without any GUI interaction involved, you aren't
affected in any way.

Sorry if my email confused you. It should read like: if you're
an author of oVirt UI plugin for WebAdmin, please beware that
REST API session ID (automatically acquired by UI plugin infra
on behalf of all UI plugins) will not work after GUI logout.
If you provide your own credentials nothing changed.
The change is only effecting RESTAPI usage within the user interface using
the credentials obtained interactively from the user within login page.
