Bug Description
This bug tracker is for errors with the documentation, use the following as a template and remove or add fields as you see fit. Convert [ ] into [x] to check boxes:
- [x] This doc is inaccurate in this way:
When say to run the command:
nova-status upgrade check
it fails unless I run it as a root. But the documentation doesn't say it.
I don't know if I make a mistake during the install, or if I should run it as a root.
When run as unprivileged user the output is:
$ nova-status upgrade check
Error:

I guess I assume that nova-manage and nova-status commands are always run as root since they are administrative level commands.
