Oh...good to know that, thanks! That would make it a lot easier. I'll give it a 
try...

Subject: [openstack-dev] [magnum] Use Keystone trusts in Magnum?

Hello,

I submitted https://review.openstack.org/#/c/326428 a while ago to get
around having to configure Heat's policy.json in a very permissive
manner[0]. I naively only tested it as one user, but gating caught that
omission and dutifully failed (a user cannot stack-get another user's
Heat stack, even if it's the Magnum service user). Ordinarily, that is.

Beyond the ordinary, Heat uses[1] Keystone trusts[2] to handle what is
basically the same problem (acting on a user's behalf way past the time
of the stack-create when the token used for the stack-create may have
expired already).

I propose doing the same thing in Magnum to get the Magnum service user
the ability to perform a stack-get on all of its bays' stacks. That way
the hairy problems with the wide-open permissions neccessary for a
global stack-list can be avoided entirely.

I'd be willing to implement this, either as part of the existing change
referenced above or with a blueprint and all the bells and whistles.

So I have two questions:

1) Is this an acceptable way to handle the issue?

2) If so, is it blueprint material or can I get away with adding the
code
     required for Keystone trusts to the existing change?

Cheers,

Johannes
