Hi, as a new 4.0 qubes user and new qubes user, I have questions about the Admin API

As an admin in my society, I would like to make my users use Qubes, but, to be sure that they doesn't broke anything and that no secured information goes out, I would like that they have the minimum right on the VM they are using.

I would like by exemple to make that they are not able to create other VM then those I have created for them.

So for that I have tried to create an "admin VM" like you propose with the Admin API to not have all on Dom0. for the rights, it seems that there is no problem, I have follow your post on "introducing Admin API" so the must be right, but the problem is that even with the rights, the VM I want to use keep said to me that they don't know the command.

By exemple when I try the: qvm-ls to monitor my VM's it said me:
Bash: qvm-ls command not found

Could you help me to find where is my mistake

Thank you in advance...

Best regards

Nicoals

Did you install the "qubes-core-admin-client" package?

My question may be stupid but how can I do that cause no package seems to exist from repository

Best regards

Those packages (.rpm and .deb, respectively) are for now in current-testing
repository. You have to change "enable=" to "1" in /etc/yum.repos.d/qubes*
and/or uncomment relevant line in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*qubes* .

(Sorry I don't remember exact file names).
