RHEV-M can be configured to use AD-based domain or internal domain. The default domain that is set while configuring RHEV-M is internal domain. If RHEV-M is configured to use the internal domain, only an admin user can perform operations. However, if RHEV-M is configured to use an AD-based domain, any user in this particular domain can be configured to perform virtual machine management tasks if that user has the required privileges.

If RHEV-M is configured to use AD-based domain, Veritas recommends that you configure a non-admin user in the User key of the RHEVMInfo attribute. If you configure an admin user to access RHEV-M that uses AD-based domain, REST APIs may take a long time to respond.
