Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-12 20:45:07 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/horizon/+spec/horizon-rootwrap.

Description:

openstack/oslo-incubator contains a module rootwrap[1] which provides an easy and pluggable interface allowing commands to be run as root. As an openstack_dashboard plugin developer, I would like to be able to use this functionality to execute commands from Horizon using an established and secure method. This would allow me to enhance my dashboards/panels with additional information from the system. Adding rootwrap from oslo to Horizon would give third parties the ability to safely execute commands in a manner which is consistent with other components of openstack (nova, cinder, etc).
