It sounds like you need the oVirt user portal. You can get more information about defining permissions & user profiles, and accessing the user portal, in the quick start guide (starting at the "Using virtual machines" section): http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Using_Virtual_Machines There's a video here for defining quotas with the user quota: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zazJ_fW05Qk
