Hi Graham, Many thank for your prompt reply; your suggestion is spot on for my current use case. Again, thanks.
On another note, I see that designate has zone blacklisting that could be used to limit the names of newly created zones using a negative regex. But there is no zone whitelisting. Is there a reason for this? Kind regards, Lawrence Lawrence J Albinson ________________________________________ From: Graham Hayes Sent: 20 June 2017 13:01 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [openstack-ansible][designate][bind9] Looking for ways to limit users to adding hosts within fixed personal domain On 20/06/17 12:37, Lawrence J.

If that does not work, we support "zone transfers"[2] (its a terrible name) where the admin can create the new sub zone in the admin project and then transfer ownership to the new project. 1 - https://github.com/openstack/designate/blob/master/etc/designate/policy.json#L43-L56 2 - https://docs.openstack.org/developer/python-designateclient/shell-v2-examples.html#working-with-zone-transfer > > __________________________________________________________________________ > OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) > Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe > http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev > __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: [email protected]?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
