-Programmable Provisioning of Provider Networks
-----------------------------------------------
-Description
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-In a NFV environment the VNFMs (Virtual Network Function Manager) are consumers
-of the OpenStack IaaS API. They are often deployed without administrative rights
-on top of the NFVI platform. Furthermore, in the telco domain provider networks
-are often used. However, when a provider network is created administrative
-rights are needed what in the case of a VNFM without administrative rights
-requires additional manual configuration work. It shall be possible to
-configure provider networks without administrative rights. It should be
-possible to assign the capability to create provider networks to any roles.
-
-The following figure (:numref:`api-users`) shows the possible users of an
-OpenStack API and the relation of OpenStack and ETSI NFV components. Boxes with
-solid line are the ETSI NFV components while the boxes with broken line are the
-OpenStack components.

-Requirements
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
- - Authorize the possibility of provider network creation based on policy
- - There should be a new entry in :code:`policy.json` which controls the
- provider network creation
- - Default policy of this new entry should be :code:`rule:admin_or_owner`.
- - This policy should be respected by the Neutron API

-Current implementation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Only admin users can manage provider networks [OS-NETWORKING-GUIDE-ML2]_.
-
-
-Potential implementation
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- - Policy engine shall be able to handle a new provider network creation and
- modification related policy.
- - When a provider network is created or modified neutron should check the
- authority with the policy engine instead of requesting administrative
- rights.
-
-
-Solution in upstream community
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-A bug report has been submitted to the upstream OpenStack community to highlight
-this gap:
-https://bugs.launchpad.net/neutron/+bug/1630880
-
-This bug report revealed that this use case has already been addressed in the
-upstream community. Specifically, it is possible to specify the roles (e.g.,
-admin, regular user) in the Neutron policy.json file which are able to create
-and update provider networks.
-
-However, the OpenStack user guide wrongly stated that **only** administrators
-can create and update provider type networks. Hence, a correction has been
-submitted to the OpenStack documentation repository, clarifying the possibility
-to change this behavior based on policies:
-https://review.openstack.org/#/c/390359/
-
-In conclusion, this use case has been retired as the corresponding gaps have been
-closed in the upstream community.
