Hi Prachi,

Since we’re already allowing users to specific account and list VMs by account, 
following the same pattern I added the case so as to allow users to specify 
user_id in both list/deploy VM commands. In case the userid is not specified, 
in that case the logged in user’s ID will be used.

It’s open for discussion of course, let me know if it’s a good idea to follow 
the same pattern or strictly use the logged-in user’s ID?
