I'd say the problem is that the template has some disks and as a
"UserTemplateBasedVm" only you are
not allowed to "Access Image Storage Domains"?
Thanks for pointing that out, I really didn't think the disk has
permissions too :)
Because PowerUserRole has more permissions than UserTemplateBasedVm, so I
think assigning PowerUserRole is enough to see the template in power user
portal. Based on this thought, I did the following two experiment:
1. I assigned PowerUserRole to user A in Configure -> System Permissions,
but after that I still cannot see template C in power user portal.
The above role assignment result in user A having PowerUserRole inherited
from System Permission, and based on [1], user A should have PowerUserRole
on template C, right ?
2. Now based on 1 if I explicitly add PowerUserRole to user A on template
C, I can see template C and create vms from it.
For my understanding, the above two role assignment should have the same
result.
Any ideas?

For details about specific roles and what can be done by which role
you
can have a look at:
webadmin -> "Configure" in top right corner -> "Roles" side tab
-> pick a
specific role -> "Edit" button
