Differences between OpenStack User Roles and Tenant Manager’s Roles🔗
An OpenStack role is a personality that a user assumes to perform a specific set of operations. A role includes a set of rights and privileges. A user assuming that role inherits those rights and privileges. OpenStack roles are defined for each user and each project independently.
A Tenant Manager role, on the other hand, defines whether a user should have the ability to manage an organization via the Tenant Manager or have access to OpenStack.
