The convention today is that in order to create something, you need permissions on the ancestor entity. Therefore, I think it should be as follows: 1. In order to create a Disk in a VM context, you need permission on the VM (just like in 3.0, IIRC). 2. In order to create a Floating Disk within a storage domain, you need permission on the storage domain 3. In order to create an External LUN Disk, you need permission on System/DC/Whatever we decide the ancestor entity of External LUN is. 4? Not sure regarding creation of External LUN Disk in a VM context (if that scenario exists) - will probably need a permission on both VM and External-LUN-ancestor, since this is a special case. All of the above is regardless quota, meaning, if quota is enforced, quota restrictions will apply as relevant *in addition* to the permission limitations. > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > > Engine-devel mailing list > > > > Engine-devel@ovirt.org > > > > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Engine-devel mailing list > > Engine-devel@ovirt.org > > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel > > > _______________________________________________ > Engine-devel mailing list > Engine-devel@ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel > _______________________________________________ Engine-devel mailing list Engine-devel@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/engine-devel
