Dear Latcho, I am glad you are also mentioning this.
I moved forward with my 4.2 setup and discovered following possibilities: 1. To what Michal suggested (although its not an access I would like to give to regular users), its possible to create an Admin role allowing management/provisioning of only VMs: a. Users will be able to login to admin portal, see all the settings, be unable to change anything in the setup, except managing VMs and provisioning them b. It’s a risk for a Hosted_Engine to be deleted by someone not being careful – I am still about to investigate if I can protect it by an Affinity setting or create special permission jut for the Hosted_Engine 2. About VM Portal: we for now have to rely on templates: a. The only way for users to spawn VMs from VM Portal is to have required templates created ahead. b. The hostname field will be used by cloud-init to create a hostname and that is the only things besides cpu and ram that you can edit from VM Portal 3. Use of APIs and or Ansible It would we very nice to have more ability on VM management from VM Portal, so that no End Users are allowed to Admin Portal. I am aware it’s not a complete or most accurate answer to your question, but I hope it does bring some clarity to current situation. -- Met vriendelijke groet / Best regards, Marko Vrgotic System Engineer/Customer Care ActiveVideo From: Latchezar Filtchev <lat...@aubg.bg> Date: Wednesday, 17 January 2018 at 16:44 To: Michal Skrivanek <michal.skriva...@redhat.com>, "Vrgotic, Marko" <m.vrgo...@activevideo.com> Cc: "users@ovirt.org" <users@ovirt.org> Subject: RE: [ovirt-users] 4.2.0 Unable to create VM disk from VM Portal Dear Michal, Please clarify ‘Perhaps you can use webadmin and limit user’s permissions the way you need’. Clean oVirt 4.2 installation have only admin user. Or I am wrong? What type of user is webadmin you are talking about? Thank you!

Hi, there is no disk manipulation in VM Portal I have tried with Admin suer and creating user “Test” wth PowerUser role. In both cases there is not option to create or attach disk. Is the approach changed since 4.2.0? Yes. The old User Portal where it was possible to fully edit a VM was discontinued in 4.2. The new VM Portal doesn’t have that capability yet Perhaps you can use webadmin and limit user’s permissions the way you need Thanks, michal Am I missing a setting? Please let me know, I will provide more data if needed. Kindly awaiting your reply. -- Met vriendelijke groet / Best regards, Marko Vrgotic System Engineer/Customer Care _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org<mailto:Users@ovirt.org> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
