Hi Anton,
You can assign permissions to the VM by using the following syntax:

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/ yyy/permissions

<permission>
  <role>
    <name> username</name>
  </role>
  <user id=" xxx"/>
</permission>

For further information, you can visit here:  http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#services/assigned_permissions/methods/add

Hope it helps!

Regards,
Shani Leviim

Hi everyone!

My question is in the subject for the most part.
I'm trying to backup a vm parameters, including the linked attributes, namely the permissions. But I don't want the inherited permissions to be included into the backup, I only need the attributes specific to the vm. It looks like there is no difference between the inherited and the vm-specific permissions in the output from /ovirt-engine/api/vms/<vm-id>/permissions service.

What is the best way to distinguish the specific permissions from the inherited ones? It seems I can follow the link to the particular permission and see whether the vm attribute is set on it and it points to the VM I need, but that would require numerous REST requests to be done. Is there a more elegant way? Maybe I can somehow filter the output of /ovirt-engine/api/vms/<vm-id>/permissions to only include the required info?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Anton.
