Thank you for your help! This worked flawlessly and helped me
understand the engine database a little more!
Get the id for the everyone group
https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/groups?search=everyone
Get the id for the UserRole
https://engine.example.com/ovirt-engine/api/roles
connect to the engine databasee.g.
psql -h localhost -U engine -d engine
select * from permissions where ad_element_id='groupid';
note the id of the permission, probably the last one but you can check by the role_id
then delete the permission.
delete from permissions where id='noted before';
you should make a backup of your system before you do this.

Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] The built in group Everyone is troublesome.Yes, that's not good you need to remove the UserRole system permission but they fixed it so you can't.

I think there maybe a bug that allows you to add system permissions to the everyone group in 4.2, you're only supposed to be able to change the permissions with a dbscript.
I'll look up my notes on how to remove the permission from the DB.

What are the permissions for the group everyone, in particular the system permission should be just UserProfileEditor.

So all my VMs are inheriting system permissions from group everyone and giving all my users access to all my VMs, in ovirt 4.2. Is there a best practices guide or any recommendation on how to clear this up? Clicking remove on everyone does not work because Ovirt won't allow me to remove a built in account.
