Public bug reported:

The documentation in /usr/share/doc/libvirt-bin/README.Debian.gz talks
about access control and refers to a group called "libvirt". Apparently,
this group is actually called "libvirtd" on Ubuntu.

Quote:

> Note that *every* user on the system has access to xend then. Better use
> libvirtd to access xen with unprivileged users and add the users to the
> "libvirt" group (see "Access Control" below).

> If you want to manage VMs as non root you need to add a user to that group.

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, libvirt-bin version 0.9.13-0ubuntu12.1.
