Currently when list servers from all tenants (i.e. --all-tenants is set as 1 when "nova list"), privilege is required. However, computer pollster in ceilometer need to get all instances from all tenants in one host. Granting admin privilege to the pollster is not very secure. All tenants servers list should be policy-based, instead of requiring admin privelege. There is one potential backward compatibility. With all_tenants specified, non-admin accounts will get back owned servers only without this patch, however it will get policy exception now if policy checking failed. IMHO the new behaviour makes more sense. Change-Id: I8f1f064434ab12b6c0cd636f84dfc1b6a9b2fc90 Signed-off-by: Yunhong, Jiang <yunhong.jiang@intel.com>

In the unfortunate event that bugs are discovered, they should be reported to the appropriate bug tracker. If you obtained the software from a 3rd party operating system vendor, it is often wise to use their own bug tracker for reporting problems. In all other cases use the master OpenStack bug tracker, available at:
Developers wishing to work on the OpenStack Nova project should always base their work on the latest Nova code, available from the master GIT repository at:
Developers should also join the discussion on the mailing list, at:
