Open Stack

Jeremy , this bug does not cause security vulnerability. I am a bit new
to using launchpad (I am not sure if the security tag addition was the
cause ) . This defect merely overrides the flexibility to apply/control
permissions associated with flavor rest api and mandates that only a
user with admin permissions can make these calls.

Title:
  create/delete flavor permissions should be controlled by policy.json

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Confirmed
Status in OpenStack Security Advisories:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The create/delete flavor rest api always expects the user to be of
  admin privileges and ignores the rule defined in the nova/policy.json.
  This behavior is observed after these changes >>
  https://review.openstack.org/#/c/150352/.

  The expected behavior is that the permissions are controlled as per
  the rule defined in the policy file and should not mandate that only
  an admin should be able to create/delete a flavor
