Thanks Ravi and Haitao.

The only workaround I found is to create a new token from the one I
want to validate with:

curl -X POST -d '{ "auth":{ "token":{ "id":"non-admin-token" },
"tenantName":"testproject" }}' -H "Content-Type:application/json" -H
"Accept: application/json" http://localhost:5000/v2.0/tokens | python
-mjson.tool

But since it keeps creating tokens it could spam the db if there were
a lot of requests and it requires knowing the tenant name if one wants
to get the roles in the response.
