Role Rename

Role Rename

Summary

Roles will be renamed to lowercase. Some of the roles affected are:

• Member -> member
• TenantManager -> tenantmanager

Why Do We Need This?

Initially, when the Nectar Research Cloud was started, it used uppercase role names because there were no predefined standards. However, OpenStack has since standardized on lowercase role names. To align with these standards and ensure consistency, we need to rename the roles accordingly.

How it affects you

Most users will not experience any issues. However, if you use specific features, you may need to make some changes:

Application Credentials

If you create application credentials using the old role names, you will encounter an error. For example:

$ openstack application credential create --role Member myappcred
Invalid application credential: Cannot create an application credential with unassigned role (HTTP 400) (Request-ID: req-dfbacddb-1ad0-49f9-b5aa-780d435a1b72)

You will need to use the new role name member instead.
