Ahh, I keep forgetting that oVirt is basically RHEV... Thanks.
So I see how it helps to find tagged objects, but not any way to perform
bulk operations on them. It would be really nice to be able to find all VMs
tagged as 'webserver' and add/remove a user to all of them in one operation.
Hi Robert,
actually, what you are asking for should not be limited only to a sub-set
of objects filtered by tag; we should allow batch operations on any sub-
set of objects, filtered by tags, object name, object's cluster-description
and/or cpu-consumption.
bulk operations are available today, typically on actions that don't
require a dialog interaction (other than confirmation dialog, maybe),
e.g. Run VM, Stop VM, Maintenance/Activate Host, etc.
per your example: granting user permissions on an object is done
in the context of the Permissions sub-tab of that object.
today, sub-tabs are displayed/associated only with a single item,
hence sub-tab operations are performed in the context of that single item.
one way of resolving what you are asking for is to change the sub-tabs to
support displaying data and performing actions in the context of multiple
items, rather than a single item.
We can also try and find other solutions for this particular problem,
however these solutions will require making the 'Add Permissions" action
available from another location/context in the GUI (e.g. the VMs main-tab,
rather than / in addition to the Permissions sub-tab, in which the 'Add
Permission' action is available today).
please feel free to open an RFE on this issue:

Thanks.
