virt-viewer as non-root user (but in wheel)

Hello friends!

I'm trying to get virt-viewer to connect to my running VM via SPICE server, however when I run virt-viewer as a non-root user without sudo I am unable to connect to the server 'Failed to connect: no virtual machine found'

When I run with sudo, I am able to connect just fine.

I've checked the spice-space.org documentation but I don't see what I'm missing.

I've found rules for Polkit referencing virt-manager but no affect on virt-viewer.

Thanks!
