Policy.json for nova is removed in stable/ocata but the documentation still refers to editing the file for controlling actions

[PRAMOD KUMAR SINGH]

I could see that the policy.json file for nova has been removed for stable/ocata branch, but the documentation still refers for modifications of file incase a user wants to control the access.

Below are the wordings:

"By default, administrative users can configure the flavors. You can change this behavior by redefining the access controls for compute_extension:flavormanage in /etc/nova/policy.json on the compute-api server."

Thanks Pramod, I have contacted the Nova docs liaisons to find out where Administrators can change the flavor access controls following the Ocata release. In case any reviewers know the location and can change the documentation, I have triaged the bug.

As far as I can tell it was only the default policy.json file that was removed, but the functionality is still there. I'll research this a bit more to make sure.

I consider this resolved with change I274fb6b7ea0bb2ea81faaa68d783edbaa8ed06c3, which linked to the policy documents for more information on this statement.
