The daemon is usually running as root, but virsh can do everything as a
user also.

I'm using *local* connection to libvirt with these settings:
/etc/libvirt/libvirt.conf:
uri_default = "qemu:///system"
/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf
unix_sock_group = "libvirt"
unix_sock_ro_perms = "0777"
unix_sock_rw_perms = "0770"
unix_sock_dir = "/var/run/libvirt"
And my user is in the "libvirt" group. You can also use other
authentication methods as someone mentioned before me.
