The oVirt permission model expects to be told explicitly by one header if
the logged in user has some admin permissions or not. In the past the API
behaved differently in this two cases so we needed to remove the option to
use it without admin permissions.

Now the situation is better so we may be able to bring this support back,
but it will require some testing.

you will get permission denied from the API if you try to log in with a
user which has no admin permission. If you give him any admin permission on
any resource, it might work as a workaround.
