Bug Description

The nova API documentation explains role http://nova.openstack.org/2011.1/devref/auth.html#roles and mentions

Cloud Administrator/IT-Security (currently have the same permissions) also
Cloud Administrator/IT-Security:
* All permissions

And at same time nova manual http://wiki.openstack.org/NovaAdminManual says

# Cloud Administrator. (admin) Users of this class enjoy complete system access.
# IT Security. (itsec) This role is limited to IT security personnel. It permits role holders to quarantine instances.

  The above documentation mentions nowhere about Itsec and Cloudadmin being a global role, or concept of global role anywhere.

More clear explanation would be nice.
