Currently Cinder makes all requests to other services (Nova, Swift,
etc.) with current user context. Sometimes Cinder needs privileged
rights for external queries (e.g. asking Nova where an instance is
hosted); there is no way to do it yet.
This patch adds to ability to configure an account with special rights
in the configuration ('os_privileged_user_name',
'os_privileged_user_password' and 'os_privileged_user_tenant' options).
Then, requests that need special permissions can be achieved by creating
a client(privileged_user=True).
Note: This user does not necessarily need to have an admin role
associated with it. For instance, policies can be changed to allow a
specific user (without any roles) to perform special actions.
DocImpact: New configuration options to set a privileged user account

The Choose Your Own Adventure README for Cinder
You have come across a storage service for an open cloud computing service. It has identified itself as "Cinder." It was abstracted from the Nova project.
To monitor it from a distance: follow @openstack on twitter.
To tame it for use in your own cloud: read http://docs.openstack.org
To study its anatomy: read http://cinder.openstack.org
To dissect it in detail: visit http://github.com/openstack/cinder
To taunt it with its weaknesses: use http://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder
To watch it: http://jenkins.openstack.org
To hack at it: read HACKING.rst
