Creating a student user that can create vms.

[dewhite57]

I have a user config for students. I want them to be able to create their own vms but not see anyone else's vms and such. I created a role for them (see figure 1)Figure 1

And that role is applied to both storage spaces in group permissions. When I try to create a VM as a student, in the UI, it goes all the way to end of the process and when I click Finish. A box pops up that says :


There is nothing in the task log and I can't find anything in the journalctl logs. Any idea what permission is missing for them to be able to complete the VM creation process?

Ok, I solved it. There is an issue in the UI, where the resource pool is not allocated in the GUI. You have to ensure the correct resource pool is selected or it will fail like this. So it should look like:

I don't know what you do if you are not using resource pool setups for those users. It was suggested to assign VM.Allocate to the /vms permission.
