Public bug reported:

Keystone supports a bunch of different usecases with roles. You can do
different things like having one role imply another, role inheritance
between targets, domain-specific roles, and effective roles.
Unfortunately, not much of this is documented. If someone does find
documentation, it's usually sparse and doesn't include much context from
the perspective of a new user.

This usually leads to people expecting certain scenarios to work, and
they don't [0]. THis report is to track work to include

- a document describing inherited roles
- a document describing domain-specific roles
- a document describing implied roles
