I have added a user to the libvirt group on my CentOS 7.2 server and that user can successfully access the Virtual Machine Manager without authenticating as expected. This allows the user to perform all functions in the VMS as if they were root. This is acceptable as this is a private server with no outside access so security is not a real issue.

But when that same user tries to perform functions with virsh or using a Python script that uses the libvirt module, the connection is just read-only.

Why are the permissions different for these environments and what must I do to give the user r/w access in virsh or the Python script?
