Just the ability to to have a certain role to a certain thing would be
amazing. It makes it really hard to have read only users to generate
reports with that we can show our funders how much people use our
openstack cloud.

Sam,

I'd like to get your feedback on the policy-in-code changes for Nova in the Newton release along with the related Nova policy CLIs. Some of that is probably not well documented or communicated, but it was trying to build into a place where you can get more information about what an individual user or project is able to do with Nova from an access perspective. The immediate benefit with policy-in-code was simplifying your policy file such that it can be empty if you are just going with the defaults, and then only add/change the defaults as needed in the policy.json (or policy.yaml). There was some other discussion on long-term goals for policy at the Austin summit which I could dig up if needed.
