This limitation is there for legacy reasons, and because of your mail we
have decided to remove it in the next maintenance release [1].
Meanwhile, you can give USE permissions to the group through an ACL rule
[2].

In any case, please be aware that a persistent Image can only be used by 1
VM at a time.

Best regards.

[one-users] How can I allow members of a group to RUN a persistent vm?

[Mr Sensible]

So, the question. How can I allow members of a group to RUN a persistent 
vm?


Current Setup

OpenNebula 4.10.1

SO I have a VM, that :
- is running in an SSH system datastore.
- has an image marked as persistent
- set to group infAdmins

Current permissions
- imageUse : NOManage : YESAdmin : YES
- networkUse : YESManage : YESAdmin : YES
- template  Use : YESManage : YESAdmin : YES
- vm Use : YESManage : YESAdmin : YES


I find that admins in the group can not run this VM. I checked the vm 
permissions, and yes, group run permission was unchecked. However, I am 
unable to allow Group Run privilege, as "A persistent image cannot be 
made public".


So I am a bit stuck. I need the vm to be persistent (in case of hardware 
failure) but I need the ssh local system datastore  for performance, and 
I really need a small group other than me to be able to run up VMs, 
either pre-created by me, or from scratch. I also create VMs for project 
teams, and need them to be able to run up their own VMs (at the group 
level).



Apologies if I am trying to do something stupid (or missing something 
obvious).


Thanks and seasons greetings

Peter
