[ovirt-users] ISO not showing in UI

OK makes sense, I am using a freeness appliance…

So I somehow need to create those users?  kvm (36)/group vdsm(36) and set that permission to the iso directory?

I suspect I wold have to do the same for any other shared storage I plan to use for virtual machines in the cluster?

Thanks
Kyle
