Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/301

My server works with an "administrator" account which is in the sudo group, the OS is Ubuntu Server 14.04.

My VMs are stored on a RAID1 array, mounted at /vms. I run chown to make my "administrator" account the owner of this folder and the files it contains.

This "administrator" account is also the one used by webvirtmgr. The issue is when I want to create a clone of an image from webvirtmgr, this new image "root" as the owner and not "administrator".

Can this be related to this issue: https://github.com/retspen/webvirtmgr/issues/300 ?

You can change owngroup in file /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf - parameter "unix_sock_group"
