Discuss with Royce Lv.
We think the error message misleads you.
You do not need copy file to /var/lib/libvirt/images.
it can in any directory. just set the ISO image permission for qmeu user.
The simply way is just as follow:
$ sudo chmod a+xr /yourpatch/youriso -R
or
$ sudo chmod a+x /yourpatch/ -R
$ sudo chmod a+r /yourpatch/youriso # "chown qemu" is also OK
or setfacl
$ setfacl -R -m u:qemu:rx /yourpatch/youriso
Once the iso image file is searched
out, in UI, we can add label/icon to
indicate the permission issue.
Also we can add an action in UI for user to add the permission for qmeu
directly.
To me from kimchi security model, only root users who is on behalf of
kimchi admin can create template,
so when create template, add permission for qemu directly at backend.

The above error message does dismiss so quickly.
error message is critical for user
to troubleshoot the issue, it should
be controlled by user rather than dismissed automatically.
I am trying to figure out the error notification area, will get a mockup
out soon for discussion.
