Hi Robert, actually, what you are asking for should not be limited only to a sub-set of objects filtered by tag; we should allow batch operations on any sub- set of objects, filtered by tags, object name, object's cluster-description and/or cpu-consumption. bulk operations are available today, typically on actions that don't require a dialog interaction (other than confirmation dialog, maybe), e.g. Run VM, Stop VM, Maintenance/Activate Host, etc. per your example: granting user permissions on an object is done in the context of the Permissions sub-tab of that object. today, sub-tabs are displayed/associated only with a single item, hence sub-tab operations are performed in the context of that single item. one way of resolving what you are asking for is to change the sub-tabs to support displaying data and performing actions in the context of multiple items, rather than a single item. We can also try and find other solutions for this particular problem, however these solutions will require making the 'Add Permissions" action available from another location/context in the GUI (e.g. the VMs main-tab, rather than / in addition to the Permissions sub-tab, in which the 'Add Permission' action is available today). please feel free to open an RFE on this issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=oVirt Thanks. > > > Robert > > -- > Senior Software Engineer @ Parsons > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list > Users@ovirt.org > http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users > _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
