Introduce annotations to all RPC messages to declare what access control checks are required. There are two new annotations defined: @acl: <object>:<permission> @acl: <object>:<permission>:<flagname> Declare the access control requirements for the API. May be repeated multiple times, if multiple rules are required. <object> is one of 'connect', 'domain', 'network', 'storagepool', 'interface', 'nodedev', 'secret'. <permission> is one of the permissions in access/viraccessperm.h <flagname> indicates the rule only applies if the named flag is set in the API call @aclfilter: <object>:<permission> Declare an access control filter that will be applied to a list of objects being returned by an API. This allows the returned list to be filtered to only show those the user has permissions against Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.

Description

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
