Thanks Martin,

                         Not really, my initial attempts were held up because I 
got confused with the new usrname format which is now UPN@domain and now 
equated to name@domain@domain or name@subdomain.domain@domain.

It may be easier for us to add permissions to the templates,VM, and disks or to 
use the roles service to find the user/object.


Regards,

              Paul S.

Hello,
         as part of our policy I have to change from LDAP to Active Directory 
for authentication in our oVirt system.

?Hmm, do I understand that correctly that you were moving oVirt users from some 
other LDAP server to AD? Any reason other than political to do that?
?
I have managed to configure a test system that allows users to login using the 
CN (sAMAccountName) as before. The users in the system using the AD namespace 
are using their UPN for their user name.
Do we have to copy permissions from all the old accounts to their new accounts 
or is there a way to rename them to the UPN retaining there old permissions?

?I don't think there is any other way than to copy permissions. But you can 
automate the process using for example 
ovirt_permissions/ovirt_permissions?_facts Ansible modules [1] or one of our 
SDKs (Python, Java, Ruby).
