Hello,
Can someone point me at a guide or explain to me the purpose of tags? I see that I can assign them to VMs and users, but don't grasp the purpose.
It's a way of grouping elements together. Eg. tag all the product VMs / Hosts Then filter by these tags to perform operations just on those. https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtua...

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: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=oVirt Thanks.

Just FYI if you need this functionality ASAP, you can use Java SDK [1] to get what you need. You will need a little Java program to loop through the VMs and invoke operations on it.
