The way the code stands right now is that only the cloudadmin user can view
VNC consoles from the Dashboard (
http://nova.openstack.org/runnova/vncconsole.html)

Is that the intention?

Do we want to allow non-cloudadmin users to be able to view VNC consoles
from the Dashboard?

If so we need to add one line to
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/ec2/__init__.py in
Authorizer.__init__. Add to self.action_roles

'GetVncConsole': ['projectmanager', 'sysadmin'],

under CloudController. Otherwise regular users immediately get a 401 when
trying to use VNC.
