Programmable Provisioning of Provider networks
----------------------------------------------
Description
~~~~~~~~~~~
In NFV environment the VNFM (consumer of OpenStack IaaS API) have no
administrative rights, however in the telco domain provider networks are used in
some cases. When a provider network is ceated administrative rights are needed
what in the case of a VNFM without administrative rights needs manual work.
It shall be possible to configure provider networks without administrative rights.
It should be possible to assign the capability to create provider networks to
any roles.

Derrived Requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   - Authorize the possibility of provider network creation based on policy
   - There should be a new entry in :code:`policy.json` which controls the provider network creation
   - Default policy of this new entry should be :code:`rule:admin_or_owner`.
   - This policy should be respected by neutron API

Northbound API / Workflow
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
   - No changes in the API

Data model objects
++++++++++++++++++
   - No changes in the data model

Current implementation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Only admin users can manage provider networks [OS-NETWORKING-GUIDE-ML2]_.

Potential implementation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   - Policy engine shall be able to handle a new provider network creation and modification related policy
   - When a provider network is created or modified neutron should check the authority with the policy engine instead of requesting administrative rights
