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 On 7/11/2014 10:16 AM, alinefm@linux.vnet.ibm.com wrote:

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'.
