can me point me to the doc so i can take a look at this.
And we dont want to restrict the user to make use of templates alone.
we have to give them access to spawn vms from iso too.

an expected behavior and this works fine.
But when the user logs in into the user portal, he can still see other
vms (which don't belong to him)

I want to mention one thing here.
We are trying to have two types of users.
1) with admin sort of access who can see and access others's vms
2) regular users who can create and use those vms in their quota.

The people who are similar to admins have certain special privileges.
we want them to be able to look into others vms
(stop, start or delete it). So we have gave them those rights.
The issue I'm talking now is with people who don't have these
privileges (the regular users who should access thier vms alone)
They are able to see others vms like the ones with elevated
privileges(the admin rights for the few users).

We want the ones with elevated privileges to be able to access others'
vm but the ones with the elevated privileges are also
able to access others vms, which we don't want to happen.

I would be happy if we have a direct solution, instead of adding
PowerUserRole to the user.
