Title:
  Access to sensitive audit data is not properly restricted

Status in OpenStack Telemetry (Ceilometer):
  In Progress
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Configuring the ceilometer policy.json file to restrict certain
  actions has no effect whatsoever. This allows all users access to
  sensitive information, such as audit data stored in the http.request
  meter.

  E.g. policy.json file:

  {
      "adm":  "role:admin",

      "default": "!",

      "meter:get_all": "rule:adm",
      "meters:get_all": "rule:adm"
  }

  With the above policy, tokens for users without the admin role are
  still able to access meters, and any token still works for alarms
  despite the default supposedly being to disallow for everyone.
