moVirt originally worked both with admin and user permissions. We had to
remove the support for user permissions since the oVirt API did not provide
all features moVirt needed for user permissions (search for example). But
the API moved significantly since then (the search works also for users now
for one) so we can move it back. I have opened an issue about it:
https://github.com/oVirt/moVirt/issues/282 - we can try to do it in next
version.

If you want to use a web console for users, I would suggest to try the new
ovirt-web-ui [1] - you have a link to it from oVirt landing page and since
4.1 it is installed by default with oVirt.

The .vv file can not be opened using aSPICE AFAIK - adding Iordan as the
author of aSPICE to comment on this.
