Dear all

I am running a Xena installation

I have modified the nova policy fail so that certain operations can be done only by the user who created the instance, or by the administrator

This [*] is my policy.yaml file.

While the suspend operation works as intended (I can suspend only my instances and I am not allowed to suspend an instance created by another user) I am not able to resume an instance that I own and that I have previously suspended.

I get this error:

ERROR (Forbidden): Policy doesn't allow os_compute_api:os-suspend-server:suspend to be performed. (HTTP 403) (Request-ID: req-c57458bc-b1ea-4b40-a1d2-0f67608ef673)

Only removing the line:

"os_compute_api:os-suspend-server:suspend": "rule:admin_api or user_id:%(user_id)s"

from the policy file, I am able to resume the instance.

I am not able to understand what is wrong with that policy. Any hints ?

Thanks, Massimo
