An empty string means everybody. So this would not affect download_image etc. 
The default only applies when the policy does not exist in the file. For 
example a new policy is added and the policy.json is not updated.

By setting default to admin, won't we be overly restrictive?
I see that "add_image, download_image" are both set to "", which I assume 
means, default, which means admin,
If that's correct, then no regular project users will be able to create images, 
or worse, launch instances.
I usually go with "owner_or_admin" for my defaults, wrt add_image, etc.
