SUSE OpenStack Cloud Monitoring is fully integrated with Keystone, the identity service which serves as the common authentication and authorization system in OpenStack.
The SUSE OpenStack Cloud Monitoring integration with Keystone requires any SUSE OpenStack Cloud Monitoring user to be registered as an OpenStack user. All authentication and authorization in SUSE OpenStack Cloud Monitoring is done through Keystone. If a user requests monitoring data, for example, SUSE OpenStack Cloud Monitoring verifies that the user is a valid user in OpenStack and allowed to access the requested metrics.
SUSE OpenStack Cloud Monitoring users are created and administrated in OpenStack:
Each user assumes a role in OpenStack to perform a specific set of operations. The OpenStack role specifies a set of rights and privileges.
Each user is assigned to at least one project in OpenStack. A project is an organizational unit that defines a set of resources which can be accessed by the assigned users.
Application operators in SUSE OpenStack Cloud Monitoring can monitor the set of resources that is defined for the projects to which they are assigned.
For details on user management, refer to the OpenStack documentation.
