Create and manage roles
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
A role is a personality that a user assumes to perform a specific set
|
|
of operations. A role includes a set of rights and privileges. A user
|
|
assumes that role inherits those rights and privileges.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
OpenStack Identity service defines a user's role on a
|
|
project, but it is completely up to the individual service
|
|
to define what that role means. This is referred to as the
|
|
service's policy. To get details about what the privileges
|
|
for each role are, refer to the ``policy.json`` file
|
|
available for each service in the
|
|
``/etc/SERVICE/policy.json`` file. For example, the
|
|
policy defined for OpenStack Identity service is defined
|
|
in the ``/etc/keystone/policy.json`` file.
