### No-op roles and default policy rules

adriant started a discussion[3][4] about the difficulty with creating limited 
or no-op roles due to the fact that most OpenStack services have default policy 
rules of just "" which translates to "any role on any project". This means if 
you wanted to give a user access only to, for example, Swift, which uses its 
own ACL model, you have to craft all of your policy files for every other 
OpenStack service to not use "" since those rules would allow the Swift-only 
users access to those other services. The default role work that has been 
ongoing since last cycle and that will eventually turn into a cross-project 
community effort will help to alleviate this hardship for operators by making 
default policies use explicit roles like "reader" and "member", but this will 
require a long transition period.

### Consistent policy names

lbragstad started a thread to come to consensus on standard policy name 
conventions so that we can come up with guidance when it comes time to start 
migrating policies to use default roles. Vote for your favorite bikeshed color 
on the thread[5].

## Milestone Outlook

https://releases.openstack.org/stein/schedule.html

Welcome to the Stein cycle! This cycle is a longer one so we have a bit of 
extra time between the spec freeze and feature freeze. lbragstad just updated 
the schedule so if you have issues with it we can probably still make 
adjustments.

## Shout-outs

Vishakha Agarwal has been doing a lot of work tackling our bug backlog, thanks 
a lot for your hard work!
