Hi

As part of bp 
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/policy-on-api-target I have 
uploaded some example WIP code showing a proposed approach for just a few API 
calls (one easy, one more complex).  I'd appreciate early feedback on this 
before I take it any further.

A couple of points:

- One question is on how to handle errors when you are going to get a target 
object before doing you policy check.  What do you do if the object does not 
exist?  If you return NotFound, then someone, who was not authorized  could 
troll for the existence of entities by seeing whether they got NotFound or 
Forbidden.  If however, you return Forbidden, then users who are authorized to, 
say, manage users in a domain would aways get Forbidden for objects that didn't 
exist (since we can know where the non-existant object was!).  So this would 
modify the expected return codes.

- I really think we need some good documentation on how to bud keystone policy 
files.  I'm happy to take a first cut as such a thing - what do you think the 
right place is for such documentation
