remove the declarations.

<title>Create and manage roles</title>
<para>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
assuming that role inherits those rights and privileges.</para>
<note>
<para>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 <filename>policy.json</filename>
file available for each service in the
<filename>/etc/<replaceable>SERVICE</replaceable>/policy.json</filename>
file. For example, the policy defined for OpenStack Identity service is
defined in the <filename>/etc/keystone/policy.json</filename> file.
