It sounds like you need the oVirt user portal. You can get more
information about defining permissions & user profiles, and accessing
the user portal, in the quick start guide (starting at the "Using
virtual machines" section):
http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Using_Virtual_Machines

There's a video here for defining quotas with the user quota:
