Hi Anton,
You can assign permissions to the VM by using the following syntax:

POST /ovirt-engine/api/vms/ yyy/permissions

<permission>
  <role>
    <name> username</name>
  </role>
  <user id=" xxx"/>
</permission>

For further information, you can visit here:

Hope it helps!


*Regards,*

*Shani Leviim*
