Yes, done, stopAI. Does that have any additional benefit?

In order to manage virtual machines as a regular user, that user needs to be added to the that group. Members of the libvirt group have passwordless access to the RW daemon socket by default.

Should work fine, you have added your user at the libvirt group ?

usermod -G libvirt -a $USER

Hello everyone, what do you think?:
For example, when I start Heads with libvirt / Virtual Machine Manager, the root password is requested. Is that ok or should it be set up so that libvirt / Virtual Machine Manager can be started as a normal user?
