Hi Lucie,

I'm not able to create a VM independent from the template in VM Portal.

I created a template from a VM that is Optimized for Server and has 1GB HDD Preallocated. The template also shows "Optimized for: Servers".

When users login to "VM Portal" and create VMs from that template all VMs are Dependent on the template.

This is very easy and fast to test. Can you please try and see if you get different results.

I've tested it in oVirt 4.3 and it worked. Now I checked it also in 4.2.8 and unfortunately the update was not backported. Sorry for not checking it before, I was convinced that it was pushed already in 4.2.

Update oVirt to 4.3 or you can update only ovirt-web-ui package to 1.5 version.
Use some version from https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/ovirtwebui/ovirt-web-ui-master/
Main functionality should work also with 4.2.8 engine.

Thank you for your time.

Hi,

Users have PowerUserRole permissions on the cluster and the storage objects. Also TemplateCreator role on the Datacenter.

When users create VMs from templates there is no option to clone the disk and create independent VM disk. The resource allocation section is not visible at all.

I assume you try to create the VM with cloned disk in VM portal. And yes, there is no resource section at all.

What permissions should I give users so they can clone the disk when creating a VM from a template?

It is not defined with permissions. When you set the template Optimized for: server, then creating new VM in VM portal should clone the template disks.

Using oVirt 4.2.8.2-1.el7

Thank you,
