A user with the role "observer" in a project will have read access to all secrets and containers for that project, using the default settings in the policy.json file.

Subject: [openstack-dev] [Barbican] Providing service user read access to all tenant's certificates

Hi,
               Is there a way to provide read access to a certain user to all secrets/containers of all project/tenant’s certificates?
               This user with universal “read” privilege’s will be used as a service user by LBaaS plugin to read tenant’s certificates during LB configuration implementation.

               Today’s LBaaS users are following the below mentioned process

1.      tenant’s creator/admin user uploads a certificate info as secrets and container

2.      User then have to create ACLs for the LBaaS service user to access the containers and secrets

3.      User creates LB config with the container reference

4.      LBaaS plugin using the service user will then access container reference provided in LB config and proceeds to implement.

Ideally we would want to avoid step 2 in the process. Instead add a step 5 where the lbaas plugin’s service user checks if the user configuring the LB has read access to the container reference provided.

Thanks,
Vijay V.
