 Yes. See http://libvirt.org/FAQ.html :

 3. Failure to use the API for non-root users

 Large parts of the API may only be accessible with root priviledges,
 however the read only access to the xenstore data doesnot have to be
 forbidden to user, at least for monitoring purposes. If "virsh
 dominfo" fails to run as an user, change the mode of the xenstore
 read-only socket with:

 chmod 666 /var/run/xenstored/socket_ro

 and also make sure that the Xen Daemon is running correctly with
 local HTTP server enabled, this is defined in
 /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp which need the following line to be enabled:

 (xend-http-server yes)

 If needed restart the xend daemon after making the change with the
 following command run as root:

 service xend restart
