cross-project images for PowerVC self-service

Currently in PowerVC Cloud Edition 1.4.0.0 (Novalink with Software Defined Storage stack)- it seems the only way to set up a image to be present on multiple projects is to either-
A- go onto one of the novalink hosts, navigate to the gpfs path, create a hard link to the image you want to share, give it a unique name, and then import that link into another project.
B- Using the GPFS/SpectrumScale clone function on the original image.

Neither of these seem to be reasonable options- especially when scaling to multiple (5-10+) projects with multiple images.

The request would be for images created in IBM_Default to be shared by default to all projects, or better yet give the Administrator granular permissions to select which images are shared to which projects.

    Thank you for the suggestion! This has already been logged in another RFE: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=111333 that we're evaluating for a future release of PowerVC.
