danny webb commented on CLOUDSTACK-4666:
----------------------------------------
the problem with this segregation is that in order to get a unified view of
what VM resource is set-up where you need to delve into the output from both
the project view and pair that with the other output from the listall view. As
an admin I need to be able to see in an overarching view everything that is
installed across my estate. The only way to do that if I use a mixture of
projects and domains is to stitch together output from the API. That is
problematic to say the least. At the very least the VMs should show up in the
infrastructure -> clusters -> hosts -> view instances view. Otherwise that
gives you a incomplete view of what is running on a given hyperviser.
> VM created under projects don't show up in admin instances, or under hosts

> If you create a VM via the API that is assigned to a project it the VM isn't
> viewable anywhere except in the project view. Even for the admin user.
> Places you can't see them in the UI:
> Admin -> Instances
> Admin -> Infrastructure -> Hosts -> Hostname -> View Instances
> User -> Instances
> this is problematic because you have no way of gauging the overall
> utilisation of hosts without being able to see all hosts assigned to them.
> It seems to me that assigning a VM to a project shouldn't remove it from the
> overall instances list. You should be able as a user be able to have the
> overall view of instances regardless of project in the instances view as long
> as you are a member of that project. If you need to get granular with what
> VMs are assigned to what projects you can do that via the project view. And
> the admin should definitely be able to see all instances in the instances
> page without having to delve into the project view and trying to find the
> host.
