Comment 6 for bug 1313746

Actually, I've just re-read the docs you listed (http://docs.openstack.org/developer/glance/glanceapi.html ). (I think I wrote the original note!) "For non-admin is_public will be ignored" -- but this is only relevant for image list style operations. The relevant note is in the 'Filtering Images Lists' section. The note isn't relevant for image create operations.

So I think the doc is ok (although perhaps it could be made clearer in some way).

We still need to decide if we think it makes sense to change the default policy for
"publicize_image", ie to make it admin only.
