after this, have you un-selected in settings the "Admin Privilege"? Because oVirt's REST behaves differently when you send the "Filter: False" (e.g. you have admin privilege) and "Filter: True" header (e.g. don't have admin privilege). It is a duality in the oVirt's REST and we have to follow it in moVirt.

Minimal possible. As soon as you can see the VM in user portal, you can see it in moVirt (but need to set the "admin privilege to false in settings). For example we have tested moVirt on cloudspin.me a lot and there we have only the "instance creator" role.

Sphoorti is now working on a patch where you will not have all this on one screen but it will look like this:
- pick a VM
- you will see only the VM details (e.g. memory size usage, OS, console etc) and 3 buttons:
- events, disks, network interfaces
- when clicking, it would open a new screen with the events/disks/nics

Would this be a solution?
