Hi, Vishal,

I assume you have already reviewed the documentation for the policy
library (https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.policy/latest/).

You are right that we are working on moving the defaults for policy
settings into the source code. It is still possible to provide a
YAML or JSON file with overrides for those rules, though, just as
in the past.  The policy_file and policy_dirs configuration options
(described in the policy library docs) control where each program
looks for the files.

The policy rules control the permissions allowed to individual users
in the REST API. So the commands to run will depend on what changes
to policy you are making. You can test using the python-openstackclient
program (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-openstackclient) or a
client written in another language if you’re more comfortable working
with Java or golang.

I hope that helps,
Doug
