Project Features

To be clear, Adjutant doesn’t really have features. It’s a framework for deployer defined workflow, and a service to expose those workflows on configurable APIs, and supplementary micro APIs. This provides useful ways to extend some functionality in OpenStack and wrap sensible business logic around it, all while providing a clear audit trail for all tasks that Adjutant handles.

Adjutant does have default implementations of workflows and the APIs for them. These are in part meant to be workflow that is applicable to any cloud, but also example implementations, as well as actions that could potentially be reused in deployer specific workflow in their own feature sets. If anything could be considered a feature, it potentially could be these. The plan is to add many of these, which any cloud can use out of the box, or augment as needed.

To enable these they must be added to ACTIVE_DELEGATE_APIS in the conf file.

For most of these there are matching panels in Horizon.

Built in Tasks and APIs

UserList

List the users on your project if you have the project_admin or project_mod role, and allow the invitiation of additional members (via email) to your project.

Note

Adjutant-UI exposes this with the Project Users panel for Horizon.

UserRoles

Allows the editing of roles for users in the same project provided you have the project_admin or project_mod role.

Note

Adjutant-UI exposes this with the Project Users panel for Horizon.

RoleList

Micro API to list roles that can be managed by your current user for users on your project.

Note

Adjutant-UI exposes this with the Project Users panel for Horizon.

UserDetail

Just a micro API to show details of users on your project, and cancel invite user tasks.

Note

Adjutant-UI exposes this with the Project Users panel for Horizon.

UserResetPassword

An unauthenticated API that allows password reset request submissions. Will check if user exists, and email user with password reset token to reset password. This token is usable in Horizon, or via the API directly.

Note

Adjutant-UI exposes this with the Forgot Password panel for Horizon.

SignUp

An unauthenticated API that allows prospective users to submit requests to have a project and account created. This will then notify an admin as configured and an admin can approve or cancel the request.

This is mostly built as a basic example of a signup workflow. Most companies would use this only as a template and expand on the actions to talk to external systems and facilitate much more complex validation.

A more complex example of a signup process built on top of the defaults is Catalyst Cloud’s own one: https://github.com/catalyst-cloud/adjutant-odoo

Note

Adjutant-UI exposes this with the Sign Up panel for Horizon.

UserUpdateEmail

A simple task that allows a user to update their own email address (or username if username==email). An email is sent to the old email informing them of the change, and a token to the new email so that the user must confirm they have correctly given their email.

Note

Adjutant-UI exposes this with the Update Email Address panel for Horizon.

UpdateProjectQuotas

A way for users to request quota changes between given sizes. These requests are either automatically approved if configured as such, or require an admin to approve the quota change.

Note

Adjutant-UI exposes this with the Quota Management panel for Horizon.
