Hi, I'd like you to take a look at this patch for potential
SecurityImpact.

    Nova admin role
    
    Current “admin” role in Nova and other services are pretty static.  A
    user with “admin” role has the super admin privilege not only in
    Nova, but other services as well.  In most organizations, compute
    administrators and administrators from other services are from
    distinct group of administrator.  If an organization does not allow
    Nova administrators to make changes to say Cinder or Neutron, then
    Nova administrators should only have a “Nova specific admin role”,
    and not the super ”admin” role.
    
    Enhance Nova policy to include Nova admin role, so that
    administrators with Nova admin role can perform Nova administrative
    tasks without having to take on the super "admin" role.
