VMs created by user-accounts not visible in user-accounts

[1960web]

Hello sirs,

I'm trying to create a development environment, networked couple of computers for kids im 'trying' to mentor.

I want to have a bunch of users, each of them to have a user-account, etc

I setup Cockpit on Ubuntu 20.04 and it seems all is working fine. I setup storage pools, volumes and am able to create VMs....using my system-admin account.

Issue observed: if I use a user account (in Ubuntu) to login to cockpit, and 'Create a VM', it seems to get stuck on the 'creating........' level, and suddenly the VM disappears. The VM page even shows: 'no VM is running or defined on this host...but when I checked the storage-pools >> storage volumes >> the individual volumes are there

So Ive been googling what the issue could be.

Later, I logged back in using my Ubuntu admin account, I see that all the VMs are actually there.

Using another PC, I logged back into the server using the user-account, still the VM page shows an empty list of VMS. I attempted another VM creation, same above observation, but I can see the most recent VM listed ONLY if I login with system-admin account.
I used different browsers/computers, same observation.

Please what could be the issue.

I expected that if I have 2-users, the VMs created by each user should be listed in each account, while the system-admin account should see all VMs on the server.

Are those listed VM's created as system or session? I am a bit confused how you created the VM's which are not visible under a user account, are they created by that account or not? (And by Cockpit or outside of)

System

Then they where not created by the user you wanted too, maybe you where in administrative mode?

@jelly
thanks for your response.
No, I was in the 'user-mode'....using the user-account
are non-admin-users supposed to create vms as session?
