Thank you !

The "destructive actions" I guess are the ones listed here:

https://specs.openstack.org/openstack/nova-specs/specs/newton/implemented/user-id-based-policy-enforcement.html

In this page there is also the link to the ML thread you were talking about

So the user_id based policy enforcement for those destructive actions is
supposed to work till Train ? Did I get it right ?

Thanks, Massimo
