libvirt users - Mar 2015 - How to run qemu with root permission from libvirt.

Hi all,

My platform is qemu 1.5.1 and libvirt 1.2.0. How to lauch the qemu with
root permission, since in the qemu I would like to access the hardware
directly.

I actually check the runing /usr/bin/kvm process, it indicated that this
process is from a root user, but it still failed to act as with root
permission.

Thanks!
Ed

Hi, Ed.

This can be configured with "user" and "group" options in
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf.
