This was required for RHEV 3.0, which was the version I initially wrote
the plugin for.

For newer versions (>= 3.1) of oVirt and RHEV you only need the
following permissions (create new role for it, or is there a role
available in oVirt > 3.2.1?):
Account Type: Admin
System - Configure System - Login Permissions

This allows a user to connect to REST-API (and Administrator Portal) and
read everything, but doesn't allow any changes (=> read only).

I'll update the documentation.
Thanks for reporting this documentation bug.
