Error bringing up domain details: Error parsing domain xml: operation 
virDomainGetXMLDesc with secure flag forbidden for read only access

and the traceback :

raceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 272, in 
show_details
    details = vmmDetails(self.get_config(), con.get_vm(uuid), self)

    for diskinfo in self.vm.get_disk_devices():
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 713, in 
get_disk_devices
    return self._parse_device_xml(_parse_disk_devs)
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 964, in 
_parse_device_xml
    raise RuntimeError(_("Error parsing domain xml: %s") % str(e))
RuntimeError: Error parsing domain xml: operation virDomainGetXMLDesc 
with secure flag forbidden for read only access

I have one saved VM and I double click on it as normal user and I get this.
