Bug Description

(vishy) here is the problem I'm trying to solve:

As an admin, I want to trigger a resize for a user (within Nova) or a block-migration command. At some point that command has to interact with external services, in this case glance. So if i need to access that tenant's images, I need a token that is valid for that tenant.

from IRC:

vishy: it is extra tricky because I need to be able to auth as an admin
vishy: but then somehow switch to user context when communicating with other services
vishy: so block-migrate is an admin only api
