Public bug reported:

Using both the glance CLI or the OpenStack web UI, I cannot create an
image with public visibility nor can I update an image to have public
visibility.

Why am I provided with this option if I can never do it?
Why is it not allowed?
Why does the UI allow me to attempt the action and then provide an error message with no information about what the problem is?

If I attempt to do the action with glance `glance image-create --name
foo --visibility public ...` or `glance image-update --visibility public
...` it at least gives me a 403 forbidden.

The web UI just gives a generic "Error" message with no information.

This user seems to have run into this problem two years ago:

create-403-forbidden-you-are-not-authorized-to-complete-this-action-
http-403-error-in-openstack-mitaka/

I can only think this has never been tested as a non admin user, and
that perhaps something different happens when you have more permissions
than I have. Really, I want to be able to do this. But if I am not
allowed, I at least want to know why!
