In that link, the referenced permissions don't exist under "configure" when logged in to the admin portal; I must be missing some finer detail.
Also the system permissions section in "Configure" doesn't allow you to add the user "everyone"-- and since we're not using LDAP groups, that complicates things.

Before I switched to our corporate LDAP, I used a group in a private LDAP server and everything worked great, permissions were fine as I describe-- but since we switched to Corp LDAP, they don't use the concept of groups, I tried changing to use the "everyone" user to assign permissions, which works great except this one scenario where they have 0 VMs in their name.

Add login permissions only at the data center for the group.  This allows them to login, but not view anything. You have to create custom permission to do what you are looking for.

Correct, each user has their own VMs. Only a few share VMs (those permissions are assigned manually)

The issue is that when they have 0 VMs assigned to them, the system throws the login error that they're not authorized, at least until I add a placeholder VM so they can log in and set themselves up.

You are looking for this to look like its multi tenant?

I setup CloudSpin to do exactly that. Each user can only see their own VMS.
Do I have your question correct?

using ldap authz; this piece is working OK, and verified OK.

I use the "Everyone" user to provide default permissions; that includes PowerUserRole for the data center, a bunch of usertemplatebasedVMs, some VnicProfileUser, DiskProfileUser, etc.

I add a new user in LDAP; and verify LDAP credentials work (ie, log in to another system that uses the same ldap server)
LDAP confirmed working for *other* ovirt users-- not an LDAP issue as far as I can tell.

I do *not* specifically add each LDAP user to oVirt, they're added to "groups" in LDAP, so if they have the right group, they should be able to authenticate to oVirt and use the system without me adding each user individually.

In any case the narrowed down problem is this:
If the user doesn't have permissions (UserRole, etc) for *any* VMs, instead of logging in and getting a blank VM list, they get "User is not authorized to perform this action."

If I add that specific user to a test placeholder VM, they can log in. Once they have a VM created, I can erase their user-specific permissions to that initial test VM and everything works as expected. They are able to log in, create VMs, etc.

If I remove all permissions for VMs from a user, they get this error.

Expected behavior:
User without any permissions to any VMs should simply get a blank VM list on login. That way they can create a VM and go from there.

Thanks for any help/suggestions,
David
