The Tasks API was made admin-only in Mitaka to prevent it from being exposed directly to end users. The interoperable image import process introduced in Pike uses the tasks engine to perform the import. This patch introduces a new policy, 'tasks_api_access', that determines whether a user can make Tasks API calls. The currently existing task-related policies are retained so that operators can have fine-grained control over tasks. With this new policy, operators can restrict Tasks API access to admins, while at the same time, admin-level credentials are not required for glance to perform task-related functions on behalf of users.
