[Openstack] [Nova] RBAC policy not enforced when adding a security group rule using EC2 API?

Hi,

It seems that when using the EC2 API, the security group implementation does not enforce RBAC policy for the add_rules, remove_rules, destroy and other functions (in compute/api.py). Only the add_to_instance and remove_from_instance functions enforce RBAC. This seems like an oversight for obvious reasons.

The Nova API security group implementation does enforce RBAC on these functions.

Does anyone know why?

Thanks in advance.
