There are ACLs for that and libvirt has currently a polkit driver.  So
if you have and are using PolicyKit, you are only few steps away from
setting this whole thing up.  There are various links that might help
you with it:

  https://libvirt.org/acl.html
  https://libvirt.org/aclpolkit.html

Then there is an example rule file in our git tree that was recently
enhanced:

  https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=blob_plain;f=examples/polkit/libvirt-acl.rules;hb=HEAD
