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. If you decide to work on this consider using a blueprint [1] (maybe with a spec [2]). I'll recommend to read [3] if not yet done.

Engineering Team, which is subscribed to OpenStack Compute (nova). https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1438338 Title: servers api should return security group ids instead of names Status in OpenStack Compute (nova): Opinion Bug description: Creating this from https://bugs.launchpad.net/python- novaclient/+bug/1394462 In nova-network security group names can't be duplicated, but in neutron, they can. For this reason, it would be nice to return server security groups as ids instead of names.
