Thanks Artem, just wondering how about if I use my own identity to get
connected, and try to find the user id of myself? Like: 

auth = v3.ApplicationCredential(
auth_url="my_auth_url",
application_credential_secret="my_cred_secret",
application_credential_id="my_cred_id",
username='catherine',
) 

sess = session.Session(auth=auth) 

conn = connection.Connection(
session=sess,
region_name='Victoria',
identity_api_version='3',
) 

# tested the above connection works well 

find_user = conn.identity.find_user(name_or_id='catherine') 

This returns me that "You are not authorized to perform the requested
action: identity:get_user"; but
conn.identity.find_user(name_or_id='my_user_Id') works fine. 

Think in the openstack cli tools, I couldn't show other users,  but I
could use my own username to list the info of myself,
"/usr/local/bin/openstack user show catherine", this works. 

Thanks for your help, 

Catherine

Normally this is only possible in the domain scope, so maybe you would need to use account with more powers.

If I do get_application_credential(user='catherine', application_credential = 'app_cred_id'), then it will show me an error that "You are not authorized to perform the requested action: identity:get_application_credential". Is there any method that no need user info, can just use the application credential id to get the expiration date? We also didn't find any documentation about the application credential in openstacksdk identity service docs.
