I have a user who would like to create an lvm snapshot session and then
share it with another user.  Currently only the root user can access
other user's sessions.

It would be helpful if a non-root user could run a command to grant a
second non-root user to access their session with the same privileges
they have.   This should only be allowed if that second user also has
the necessary privileges to create their own identical snapshot sessions
from the same source chroot.

No problem, thanks.

I'll try to get to this as part of the 1.7.x development stuff
in the new year.

In this specific case, to you want to give permissions to the
other user at the time of creating the snapshot, or later on?
We might need to provide for both use cases, but the former is
probably simpler since we can just write out the session file
with the updated permissions, rather than doing edits after
session creation (which is still possible, but will probably
need more command-line options to enable).


Thanks,
Roger
