This wishlist bug has been open a year without any activity. I'm going to move it to "Opinion / Wishlist", which is an easily-obtainable queue of older requests that have come on.
In case you want to work on that, consider writing a blueprints [1] and spec [2]. I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done. The effort to implement the requested feature is then driven only by the blueprint (and spec).

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326011 Title: Doesn't seem possible to configure direction as part of security rule creation Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Opinion Bug description: Maybe I'm missing something, but when I was trying to set up some security rules through Horizon, had issues, and tried to switch to CLI, I couldn't figure out how to make an egress rule through nova secgroup-add-rule, everything was ingress, with no option to specify egress. From the docs: http://docs.openstack.org/cli-reference/content/novaclient_commands.html nova secgroup-add-rule command usage: nova secgroup-add-rule <secgroup> <ip-proto> <from-port> <to-port> <cidr> Add a rule to a security group. Positional arguments <secgroup> ID or name of security group. <ip-proto> IP protocol (icmp, tcp, udp). <from-port> Port at start of range. <to-port> Port at end of range. <cidr> CIDR for address range. Shouldn't it be possible to specify an egress rule through the CLI? As part of the creation in Horizon, you pick EGRESS/INGRESS along with the other fields that the add-rule command lets you configure.
