[ovirt-users] Python-SDK4: How to list user permissions?

[nicolas at devels.es]

Hi,

I'm trying to get a user's list of permissions, i.e., list all 
permissions a user have on VMs and VmPools.

In SDK3 that was easy as I could run (being 'u' a User object):

for perm in u.permissions.list():
     vm = perm.get_vm()
     vmpool = perm.get_vmpool()

     if vm or vmpool:
         print "User has some permissions!"

In SDK4 I cannot reproduce the same logic. u.permissions returns an 
empty list ([]).

What I have so far is something like this:

for u in users_serv.list():
      if u.user_name == 'admin at internal':
          continue

      vms_service = sys_serv.vms_service()
      for vm in vms_service.list():
          vms = vms_service.vm_service(id=vm.id)
          ps = vms.permissions_service()
          for perm in ps.list():
              perm_service = ps.permission_service(id=perm.id)
              getperm = perm_service.get()
              if getperm.user.user_name == u.user_name:
                  print "Permission for %s" % (u.user_name)
                  if getperm.vm:
                      print "VM: %s" % (getperm.vm.id)
                  if getperm.vm_pool:
                      print "VmPool: %s" % (getperm.vm_pool.id)

However, this seems a bit overkill. We have nearly 850 VMs and for a 
single user this takes about 25 minutes to run. Additionally, it doesn't 
seem to return any permission, although I know this user has some 
permissions over 2 VMs (not sure where is it messed up).

I also tried using the system_service.permissions_service() but it seems 
to return only the global permissions.

Is there an easier way to do this?

Thanks!
