F9: virt-manager stopped working for non-root

I've enabled access for Active Console users
to manage local virtualized systems.

Until a few days ago this meant that non-root users
could run virt-manager and start and stop virtual
machines.

Today, I get an error:

Error starting domain: operation virDomainCreate forbidden for read only
access

Details:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/engine.py", line 472, in
run_domain
    vm.startup()
  File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 379, in startup
    self.vm.create()
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 262, in create
    if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainCreate() failed', dom=self)
libvirtError: operation virDomainCreate forbidden for read only access

How do I solve this problem?
