Neutron API policies and supported roles
========================================
As part of the ``Consistent and Secure Default RBAC`` community goal [#]_
Neutron implemented support for various scopes and personas in all of the API
policies which are defined in the Neutron code.
Roles supported by the default Neutron API policies
---------------------------------------------------
Roles supported by the default Neutron API policies are:
* PROJECT_READER - this role is intented to have read only access to the
project owned resources.
* PROJECT_MEMBER - this role inherits all of the privileges from the
PROJECT_READER role and also has access to ``create``, ``update`` and
``delete`` project owned resources.
* PROJECT_MANAGER - this role inherits all of the privileges from the
PROJECT_MEMBER role and additionally is allowed to do more operations on the
project owned resources.
* ADMIN - this role is the same as it was in the "old" default policies. A user
with granted ADMIN role is allowed to do almost every possible modifications
on all resources, even those which belong to different projects.
* SERVICE - this is a special role designed to be used for the service to
service communication only (like e.g. between nova and neutron), it doesn't
inherit any privileges from any other roles mentioned above.
Default API policies defined in Neutron
---------------------------------------
By default all of the existing API policies can be used with the ``project``
scoped tokens only. Tokens with ``service`` scope are not supported by any of
the policies defined in Neutron code.
Default API policies
--------------------
Default API policies defined in the Neutron code can be found in the
:ref:`Policy Reference` document.
