Add yourself to the libvirt group.
If you're making a connection from a local virt-manager to a
remote libvirtd you need to do one of three things, as by default libvirtd
allows no remote access:
- enable the "listen" option in /etc/default/libvirt-bin
- relax the permissions in the remote's file /etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
- connect to the libvirtd via an ssh tunnel logged in to the remote server
In a previous job I chose to implement the third option (I'd looked
at item 1 but couldn't see how to integrate the embedded SASL based
authentication with the other authentication scheme(s) already present).

How are you starting kvm, and with what options?
