[Engine-devel] Instance Types Feature

> 1. Why do we need a new set of permissions for "Create Instance" and "Instance Owner"? Aren't the VmCreator role and the UserVmManager role enough in these use-cases?
so checked this with Andy:
- Create Instance: it is a permission to actually see the instance types in the list of instance types when creating the VM and to be able to create a VM from that instance type
- Instance Owner: if the user has this permission, he can edit the fields marked as "Basic User" in the table in the wiki (but not the others)

Some questions:
1. Why do we need a new set of permissions for "Create Instance" and "Instance Owner"? Aren't the VmCreator role and the UserVmManager role enough in these use-cases?
2. iiuc, the internal implementation of instance types and images will be done using templates. However, I guess we plan to expose instance types and images as REST resources, right?

Thank you,
Oved
