Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
-In NFV environment the VNFM (consumer of OpenStack IaaS API) have no
-administrative rights, however in the telco domain provider networks are used in
-some cases. When a provider network is created administrative rights are needed
-what in the case of a VNFM without administrative rights needs manual 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.

+In a NFV environment the VNFMs (Virtual Network Function Manager) are consumers

Derived 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 neutron API

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
