[SOLVED] libvirt / Virtual Machine Manager als root?
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?

Should work fine, you have added your user at the libvirt group ?
usermod -G libvirt -a $USEROffline

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.
