Octavia Policies

The default policy is to not allow access unless the auth_strategy is ‘noauth’.

Users must be a member of one of the following roles to have access to the load-balancer API:

role:load-balancer_observer

User has access to load-balancer read-only APIs.

role:load-balancer_global_observer

User has access to load-balancer read-only APIs including resources owned by others.

role:load-balancer_member

User has access to load-balancer read and write APIs.

role:load-balancer_quota_admin

User is considered an admin for quota APIs only.

role:load-balancer_admin

User is considered an admin for all load-balnacer APIs including resources owned by others.

role:admin

User is admin to all APIs.

Note

‘is_admin:True’ is a policy rule that takes into account the auth_strategy == noauth configuration setting. It is equivalent to ‘rule:context_is_admin or {auth_strategy == noauth}’ if that would be valid syntax.

An alternate policy file has been provided in octavia/etc/policy called admin_or_owner-policy.json that removes the load-balancer RBAC role requirement. Please see the README.rst in that directory for more information.

Sample File Generation

To generate a sample policy.yaml file from the Octavia defaults, run the oslo policy generation script:

oslopolicy-sample-generator
--config-file etc/policy/octavia-policy-generator.conf
--output-file policy.yaml.sample

Merged File Generation

This will output a policy file which includes all registered policy defaults and all policies configured with a policy file. This file shows the effective policy in use by the project:

oslopolicy-policy-generator
--config-file etc/policy/octavia-policy-generator.conf

This tool uses the output_file path from the config-file.

List Redundant Configurations

This will output a list of matches for policy rules that are defined in a configuration file where the rule does not differ from a registered default rule. These are rules that can be removed from the policy file with no change in effective policy:

oslopolicy-list-redundant
--config-file etc/policy/octavia-policy-generator.conf
