Hi Dave, I've implemented this feature. Starting from 4.6, the list VM API will accept "userid" field to list VMs created by a user. In vm_instance table, a new columen user_id will hold this information.

Hi all, Is this mailing list the right place to raise feature requests? If so, I have a small one. I think it would be handy if the userid of the user that created a VM was recorded in the database in the vm_instance table. Currently, the only way I know of to find the user that deployed a VM is by checking the logs. There's an owner field in the vm_instance table but this seems to be the account ID of the account the user belongs to. By being able to find the user that deployed a VM, it makes VM cleanups much easier since you know who to contact for each VM. A similar thing in the other tables for the other resources would be useful too when trying to cleanup networks and volumes, etc. Also, if this change went ahead, then the API and GUI could be changed also to show the user details for the VM when listing the VM's details. Thanks, Dave
