[ovirt-users] user permissions

[Jorick Astrego]

Hi,

Sorry let be a bit more clear. I want to have a user that can log into 
the user portal and create vm's, stop them, add disks etc. But only as a 
user.

I tried the superuser role and can do all things _except _creating a new 
VM.  I also want the user to only see and manipulate his own VM's and 
not the other ones running on the same system.

Even with the PowerUser role, I am not able to create a new VM as this 
user. Also when I edit the built-in PowerUser role, I only see the 
following rights selected:

Login Permissions

Template

Provisioning Operations
Create

VM


Provisioning Operations
Edit properties
Create

Disk

Provisioning Operations
Create

Everything else is deselected.

Kind regards,

Jorick Astrego
