In OpenNebula 4.6 we included a new view for cloud consumers (cloud view)
[1]. In one < 4.6 user view was the same view as oneadmin but some of the
actions were disabled/hidden.

In the one-4.6 cloud view (user) when you power off a VM and save it, a new
image is created (only the first DISK, assuming this is the OS)  and a new
template is also created referencing this image.

The workflow you mentioned is only available through the oneadmin view.
Cloud consumers should not prepare images installing from a CDROM. One of
the use cases that we have seen is: oneadmin prepare a set of pristine
images installing from the CDROM or importing from the marketplace [2].
Cloud consumers can instantiate new VMs using these images and then saving
their changes into a new template+image.

Hope this helps
