A role is a personality that a user assumes to perform a specific set of operations. A role includes a set of rights and privileges. A user assuming that role inherits those rights and privileges.

[Note]Note

OpenStack Identity service defines a user's role on a project but it is completely up to the individual service to define what that role means. This is referred to as the service's policy. To get details about what the privileges for each role are, refer to the policy.json file available for each service in the /etc/SERVICE/policy.json file. For example, the policy defined for OpenStack Identity service is defined in the /etc/keystone/policy.json file.
