That’s a limitation/design of REST API In the UI you can highlight multiple VMs and assign roles all in one go Note you don’t have to use the UserVmManager role, it’s just one of the predefined ones. If you want your own, different, role you can always define a new one and add the serial console permission Thanks, michal > Adding Francesco. > > Thanks and best regards, > -- > Didi > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users(a)ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > >
