That doesn't really have any impact. If a desktop user is logged

Then if you create a guest without being in the 'disk' group, it'll
fail. That's pretty expected AFAICT.
But with libvirt today, when you launch a guest, your security context
doesn't matter and there's no way you can control what context the guest
gets. libvirt is essentially creating it's own authorization
mechanism. Supporting ACLs goes much further down that path.

That's a completely independent RFE which won't fix this issue in
the general case.
I think it really does.
