A user can be assigned different roles in different tenants: for example, Alice may also have the "admin" role in the "Cyberdyne" tenant. A user can also be assigned multiple roles in the same tenant. The /etc/[SERVICE_CODENAME]/policy.json controls what users are allowed to do for a given service. For example, /etc/nova/policy.json specifies the access policy for the Compute service, /etc/glance/policy.json specifies the access policy for the Image service, and /etc/keystone/policy.json specifies the access policy for the Identity service. The default policy.json files in the Compute, Identity, and Image service recognize only the admin role: all operations that do not require the admin role will be accessible by any user that has any role in a tenant. If you wish to restrict users from performing operations in, say, the Compute service, you need to create a role in the Identity service and then modify /etc/nova/policy.json so that this role is required for Compute operations. For example, this line in /etc/nova/policy.json specifies that there are no restrictions on which users can create volumes: if the user has any role in a tenant, they will be able to create volumes in that tenant. "volume:create": [], If we wished to restrict creation of volumes to users who had the compute-user role in a particular tenant, we would add "role:compute-user", like so: "volume:create": ["role:compute-user"], If we wished to restrict all Compute service requests to require this role, the resulting file would look like: { "admin_or_owner": [["role:admin"],
