Once the iso image file is searched out, in UI, we can add label/icon to 
indicate the permission issue.
Also we can add an action in UI for user to add the permission for qmeu 
directly.

To me from kimchi security model, only root users who is on behalf of 
kimchi admin can create template,
so when create template, add permission for qemu directly at backend.

error message is critical for user to troubleshoot the issue, it should 
be controlled by user rather than dismissed automatically.
I am trying to figure out the error notification area, will get a mockup 
out soon for discussion.
