Comment 3 for bug 1447164

There are currently 41 calls to require_admin_context:

    nova_context.require_admin_context(context)

All of them are in:

    nova/api/openstack/compute/legacy_v2/contrib/

Each one of those calls is prefixed by a similar comment:

        # NOTE(alex_xu): back-compatible with db layer hard-code admin
        # permission checks.
        nova_context.require_admin_context(context)

And this comment addresses the question this bug raises:

        # NOTE(alex_xu): back-compatible with db layer hard-code admin
        # permission checks. This has to be left only for API v2.0 because
        # this version has to be stable even if it means that only admins
        # can call this method while the policy could be changed.
        nova_context.require_admin_context(context)

I suspect (but I could be wrong) that there was consensus to stop here with these API policy/permission check changes.

Can someone please confirm that the direction this bug proposes is still desired? Thanks!

If not... then we can close this bug.
