[Bug 1592396] [NEW] Specifying which floatingip to create should not be a restricted operation

 

Public bug reported:

Hello

In my opinion, the --floating-ip-address option to "neutron floatingip-
create" should by default not be restricted to the admin user.

I notice that we now have the option, when creating a floating ip, to
specify which IP to create as opposed to only getting a (semi-)random IP
from the pool.

netron floatingip-create --floating-ip-address xx.xx.xx.xx external

 Which is very nice. But I also noticed that this option, by default is limited to an admin user. So why is this? If a user really want an IP which is free, he can likely get it by creating and deleting addresses
until the one he wants comes up.

In my opinion, we should therefore relax the default policy, allowing
ordinary users to specify which floating IP to use.
