Some explanation of permissions 'my.openstack.permission'?

[zzxwill]

In this link http://docs.openstack.org/developer/horizon/quickstart.html, there is no explanation for permission 'my.openstack.permission' in section Panel while this is important for doc readers, especially for a developer who would like to customize permissions. Thanks.

class Images(horizon.Panel):
    name = "Images"
    slug = 'images'
    permissions = ('openstack.roles.admin', 'my.openstack.permission',)
    policy_rules = (('endpoint', 'endpoint:rule'),)

I looked through docs on openstack.org and didn't find much information on it. I intend to explain it a little bit with an example. Thanks.

I had a look into this and into the django_openstack_auth code, and it seems that a permission like the second example will never be used, the only permissions the keystone backend sets against are of the form openstack.roles.role_name and openstack.services.service_name. I modified the example and added a short explanation. Patch: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/500653/

    Add permissions explanation to quickstart doc

    * Also fixes part of the example which showed having a custom
      permission that could not exist in the way that
      django_openstack_auth's keystone backend was implemented.
