Hi Operators and Working Groups,

Please see the thread below... Keystone is looking for use cases related to the "reseller"/hierarchical multi-tenancy capabilities.  I'm sure your input would be appreciated!

Regards,
Shamail

> For those who are unfamiliar with the reseller concept, it came out of early discussions regarding hierarchical multi-tenancy (HMT). It essentially allows a certain level of opaqueness within project trees. This opaqueness would make it easier for providers to "resell" infrastructure, without having customers/providers see all the way up and down the project tree, hence it was termed reseller. Keystone originally had some ideas of how to implement this after the HMT implementation laid the ground work, but it was never finished.
