We use some custom API policies (as in policy.json) to restrict certain 
operations to particular roles or requiring some fields on calls (i.e. we 
require that users give us an availability zone when booting an instance.)

When the policy causes the operation to be denied, the only response that goes 
back to the user is something like “operation is denied by policy.”  This is 
confusing and it’d be really nice if we could send back a response like “you 
need to have xxxx role to do this”, or “availability zone is required.”

I was thinking about writing up a RFE bug for a feature that would allow 
configuration of a custom “policy denied” message in policy.json.  Would this 
be useful/desired by others?
