["Fang Wang (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-4308?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13738957#comment-13738957 ] 

Fang Wang commented on CLOUDSTACK-4308:
---------------------------------------

Fix has 2 parts: API and UI.
1. Volume page (where "recurring snapshot" option and "take snapshot" option are) is available to regular user.
 However, regular user doesn't have access to listConfigurations API. 
So, regular user is unable to get "KVM.snapshot.enabled" through listConfigurations API.
 
API developer needs to extend listCapabilities API (which regular user has access to) to return "KVM.snapshot.enabled".
Extend the current API return to:
