</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>There are a couple of ways to handle that:<BR>
<BR>
1. A separate "openstackadmin" CLI that looks for commands using a different plugin namespace, and therefore only loads the admin commands.<BR>
<BR>
2. Prefix admin-related commands in the unified cli with "admin" (so "openstack admin create network" or whatever).<BR>
<BR>
3. Separate admin apps for each project.<BR>
<BR>
I think we should avoid 3, since that goes against the spirit of this project. I like #2, but #1 would be easy to implement and could share 99% of the code from the basic openstackclient.<BR>
