Hello,<br>
<br>
I'd be interested in opinions and feedback on the following blueprint: <a href="https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/tenants-users-quotas" target="_blank">https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/tenants-users-quotas</a><br>
<br>
The idea is to add a mechanism preventing the creation of users or projects once a quota per domain is met. I believe this could be interesting for cloud providers who delegate administrative rights under domains to their customers.<br>
<br>
I'd like to hear the community's thoughts on this, especially in terms of viability.<br>
<br>
Many thanks,<br>
<br>
