Thanks Aline, I think there might be some issues by changing the xml
file manually. From the *tabs.xml* we get the mode that a user should
have but it doesn't change when we change user. I have applied your code
and it's something like this:
Either using a guest or root we can only get the permitted tabs of the
guest. Can we have the kimchi/config/ui/tabs.xml changed automatically
according to the logged in user. Role distinguishing can be done in the
back-end and add the right mode to this xml file automatically? Or else
we might need to find other ways to transfer the user roles.
Best regards
Wang Wen

Kimchi has 2 user roles: "admin" with full control of Kimchi features
and "user" with limited access
To describe how each tab should be displayed for a user, the "mode"
attribute should be added.
The "mode" attribute values are:
- none: do not show the tab;
- admin: full instance access;
- read-only: read-only access;
- byInstance: each resource will have its configuration sent by the
backend;
The user will only be able to manage the guests he/she is assigned for,
because that the guest tab has 'mode' == admin
As a user can edit a guest, he/she may need to know which networks
and storage pools are configured, so set network and storage tab 'mode'
to read-only.
And as user should not perform any operation on host or templates, set
their 'mode' attributes to 'none'.
