Defining custom rules requires creation of a file in the /etc/polkit-1/rules.d directory with a name chosen by the administrator (100-libvirt-acl.rules would be a reasonable choice). See the polkit(8) manual page for a description of how to write these files in general.
We're going to allow members of the libvirt group to manage VM's:
mkdir /etc/polkit-1/rules.d
vi /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/100-libvirt-acl.rules
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject)
{
if (action.id == "org.libvirt.unix.manage" && subject.local && subject.active && subject.isInGroup("libvirt")) {
return polkit.Result.YES;
}
});
NB. Add to user's .bashrc:
export LIBVIRT_DEFAULT_URI=qemu:///system
Add bash completion library:
Download the bash completion library: virsh_bash_completion
How to use it: Copy virsh_bash_completion file to /etc/bash_completion.d/ then restart bash.
