serial console and permission

Hi all, I've successfully set up the serial console feature for all my vms. But the only way I found to make it work is to add each user as a UserVmManager role, whereas they have the SuperUser role at the datacenter level.I know there is an open bug on it for this. A second bug is that adding a group with UserVmManager as permission on a vm (instead of a simple user) doesn't allow to get the serial console. Thank you for your help

Hi, yes, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1320343

That’s by design. The console is giving you a root-like access hence regular user permissions are not enough Thanks, michal
