[openstack-dev] Neutron permission issue

Hi
The issue seems to be the following default config in Neutron policy

   "create_router:external_gateway_info:enable_snat": "rule:admin_only",

    "update_router:external_gateway_info:enable_snat": "rule:admin_only",


Puzzling part is from horizon when I set an external gateway for a router is it not the same thing as above. How does it allow it from horizon than?

Check /etc/neutron/policy.json, but I agree that's weird...

Hi
As a tenant when I try to create a router and associate a gateway with the router as a two step process in Horizon things work fine.
Now when I want to do the same thing through a create router API call with request below I get permission denied to create router

{
"router":
{
"name": "another_router",
"admin_state_up": true,
"external_gateway_info": {
"network_id": "3c5bcddd-6af9-4e6b-9c3e-c153e521cab8",
"enable_snat": false}
}
}
The network id in both cases is the same. This does not make sense to me
