It'd be great if you opened an issue in github and signal that the UI is
not capable of selecting a cluster.
Unsure whether this would be a bug or an improvement at this point,
maybe the latter.

Hi all,
Thanks for the responses.
I'll have to look into the tags and service offerings but I've done
some
tests using some ansible code and using my user account, I was able to
deploy VMs in both cluster CL01 and CL02 and properly tell it to create
the
instance in that cluster. When I tried to specifically state on which
host
it should be created, I get the message back that "Parameter hostid can
only be specified by a Root Admin, permission denied"
I'll have a look to see if service offerings and tags can bring me
something but I'm getting a feeling that, out of the box, granting
users
additional permissions (API calls), won't make the POD/Cluster/Host
selection appear while creating a new instance. Given that I am able to
(manually) select the cluster while using the API, I'm inclined to say
that
it's in the GUI. (but I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong :) )
Kind regards,
Jeroen Kleijer

If you try to deploy a VM via the API or cmk/cloudmonkey, can the user
select the host or cluster? Trying to determine if it's a UI problem
or
more general.
Also, if you put AccountA in DomainA and then dedicated the cluster to
DomainA (generically), does that change anything?
