Basically we would like to follow the standard admin, member and reader roles together with the scopes function and have therefore enabled the below two option in keystone.conf

This only happens in horizon and running the same commands in the CLI (python-openstack-client) does not output any errors. To work around this behavior we place the old policy for validate_token rule in /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard/conf/keystone_policy.yaml and in the file /etc/keystone/keystone.conf

We would be very happy to receive any form of input related to the above issues we are facing
