At our site, we have some larger projects that would be really nice if we could 
just give a main project all the resources they need, and let them suballocate 
it as their own internal subprojects needs change. Right now, we have to deal 
with all the subprojects directly. The reseller concept may fit this use case?

Thanks,
Kevin

Subject: [openstack-dev] [keystone][all] Reseller - do we need it?

Hey folks,

The reseller use case [0] has been popping up frequently in various discussions 
[1], including unified limits.

For those who are unfamiliar with the reseller concept, it came out of early 
discussions regarding hierarchical multi-tenancy (HMT). It essentially allows a 
certain level of opaqueness within project trees. This opaqueness would make it 
easier for providers to "resell" infrastructure, without having 
customers/providers see all the way up and down the project tree, hence it was 
termed reseller. Keystone originally had some ideas of how to implement this 
after the HMT implementation laid the ground work, but it was never finished.

With it popping back up in conversations, I'm looking for folks who are willing 
to represent the idea. Participating in this thread doesn't mean you're on the 
hook for implementing it or anything like that.

Are you interested in reseller and willing to provide use-cases?
