    Separate CRUD policy for server_groups
    
    The same policy rule (os_compute_api:os-server-groups) is being used
    for all actions (show, index, delete, create) for server_groups REST
    APIs. It is thus impossible to provide different RBAC for specific
    actions based on roles. To address this changes are made to have
    separate policy rules for each of action.
    
    It has been argued that index and show may not need separate policy
    rules, but most other places in nova (and OpenStack in general) do
    have separate policy rules for each action. This affords the ultimate
    flexibility to deployers, who can obviously use the same rule if
    that is what they want. One example where show and index may be
    different is that if show is restricted based on some criteria, such
    that a user is able to see some resources within the tenant but not
    others, then list would need to be disallowed to prevent the user
    from using list to see resources they cannot show.

Title:
  os-server-groups uses same policy.json rule for all CRUD operations

Status in OpenStack Compute (nova):
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  All os-server-groups REST calls use same rule
  (https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/policies/server_groups.py#L29-L31)
  instead of having a separate rule for create, delete, show and list
  actions on server_groups. This takes away control of RBAC at a REST
  api level and is incorrect.

  Here are the references of rule being used with respective REST action.
  1. create (https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/newton/nova/api/openstack/compute/server_groups.py#L136)
  2. delete(https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/newton/nova/api/openstack/compute/server_groups.py#L89)
  3. show (https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/newton/nova/api/openstack/compute/server_groups.py#L78)
  4. list(https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/stable/newton/nova/api/openstack/compute/server_groups.py#L120)
