qemu-kvm: could not open disk image /CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso: Permission denied

Got the shown error when creating new virtual machine from command-line. Am using CentOS as main machine with KVM hypervisor and configured bridge network too. 

qemu-kvm: -drive file=/root/Documents/CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso,if=none,media=cdrom,id=drive-ide0-1-0,readonly=on,format=raw: could not open disk image /root/Documents/CentOS-6.8-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso: Permission denied

I have given full permissions to that directory but still its Denied.

Once you run this command, the respective iso file will be set to qemu user's ownership, so place the iso file in some other user's location like /home/user1/
