How can root manage/access user's domains?

How can root manage/access user's domains?

I would like the root user to be able to manage/access the domains of all users on each host.

Currently there seems to be a very clear separation between VMs created by each user.

Is there a way in which root can have access to all user domains, while users retain access to only *their* domains? My other alternative is to have all domains created by root, but this is really a bit messy and loses all the advantages of user accounts (quotas, virsh-as-user, etc.).

Thanks,

Chris.

P.S.

Virsh also shows the same behaviour. When I use virsh as root I only see root's VMs, even if I

connect qemu:///system

rather than

connect qemu:///session

Is this the correct behaviour?
