Hi Shani, I'm aware of this attribute, but my understanding is it only applies for a vm to template or template to vm operations. I don't see how it can be used in order to get the list of vm-specific permissions for an existing VM. Could you please provide an example of that? Thanks and regards, Anton.

Hi Anton, In that case, how about using this one: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#services/vms/methods/a...

Hi Shani,

thanks for your reply.

My question is not about assigning permissions, but rather about querying permissions assigned to a given VM. I need to get a list of permissions, assigned to the VM without the permissions this VM inherits from parent objects. Unluckily for me the /ovirt-engine/api/vms/<vm-id>/permissions service returns the list containing both VM-specific and inherited permissions, which cannot be distinguished.

Thanks and regards, Anton.

Hi Anton, You can assign permissions to the VM by using the following syntax:

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/ yyy/permissions

<permission> <role> <name> username</name> </role> <user id=" xxx"/> </permission>

For further information, you can visit here: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#services/assigned_perm...

Hope it helps!

Hi everyone!

My question is in the subject for the most part. I'm trying to backup a vm parameters, including the linked attributes, namely the permissions. But I don't want the inherited permissions to be included into the backup, I only need the attributes specific to the vm. It looks like there is no difference between the inherited and the vm-specific permissions in the output from /ovirt-engine/api/vms/<vm-id>/permissions service.

What is the best way to distinguish the specific permissions from the inherited ones? It seems I can follow the link to the particular permission and see whether the vm attribute is set on it and it points to the VM I need, but that would require numerous REST requests to be done. Is there a more elegant way? Maybe I can somehow filter the output of /ovirt-engine/api/vms/<vm-id>/permissions to only include the required info?

Thanks in advance.
