Description Colin Arnott 2016-09-08 12:35:20 UTC
Document URL: 
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-cloudforms/4.1/managing-providers/#adding_openstack_providers

Section Number and Name: 
3.1.1.7.d Adding OpenStack Providers: default: username and password

Describe the issue: 
The OSP cloud provider currently requires a user with privileged access, my security standards prevent me from giving cart blanch access to my OSP overcloud environment. Can you please enumerate the permissions required by CFME so that I can use least privilege when creating the CFME user for my OSP overcloud environment. 

Suggestions for improvement: 
Add a section indicating required permissions for the OSP cloud provider.

Thank you for raising this bug.

After further discussion with the program team, we have been given the advice not to document specific permissions for service accounts at this time based on the following article -

http://cloudformsblog.redhat.com/2017/08/16/security-management-operations/

As such, I will be closing this bug for now, but we can re-investigate this request again in the future if required.
