This feature allows root administrators to define new roles and associate API
permissions to them.
A limited form of role-based access control for the CloudStack management server
API is provided through a properties file, commands.properties, embedded in the
WAR distribution. Therefore, customizing API permissions requires unpacking the
distribution and modifying this file consistently on all servers. The old system
also does not permit the specification of additional roles.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Dynamic+Role+Based+API+Access+Checker+for+CloudStack
DB-Backed Dynamic Role Based API Access Checker for CloudStack brings following
changes, features and use-cases:
- Moves the API access definitions from commands.properties to the mgmt server DB
- Allows defining custom roles (such as a read-only ROOT admin) beyond the
current set of four (4) roles
- All roles will resolve to one of the four known roles types (Admin, Resource
Admin, Domain Admin and User) which maintains this association by requiring
all new defined roles to specify a role type.
- Allows changes to roles and API permissions per role at runtime including additions or
removal of roles and/or modifications of permissions, without the need
of restarting management server(s)
Upgrade/installation notes:
- The feature will be enabled by default for new installations, existing
deployments will continue to use the older static role based api access checker
with an option to enable this feature
- During fresh installation or upgrade, the upgrade paths will add four default
roles based on the four default role types
- For ease of migration, at the time of upgrade commands.properties will be used
to add existing set of permissions to the default roles. cloud.account
will have a new role_id column which will be populated based on default roles
as well
Dynamic-roles migration tool: scripts/util/migrate-dynamicroles.py
- Allows admins to migrate to the dynamic role based checker at a future date
- Performs a harder one-way migrate and update
- Migrates rules from existing commands.properties file into db and deprecates it
- Enables an internal hidden switch to enable dynamic role based checker feature
Deprecate commands.properties
- Fixes apidocs and marvin to be independent of commands.properties usage
- Removes bundling of commands.properties in deb/rpm packaging
- Removes file references across codebase

- AccountManager now works using accountId instead of accountType in

CLOUDSTACK-4762 : Enabling VGPU support for XenServer.
This feature is to enable the GPU-passthrough and vGPU functionality,
with the help of this feature, admins/users will be able to leverage
the GPU graphics unit power by deploying a virtul machine with GPU or
vGPU support or by changing the service offering of an existing VM
at any later point of time. There GPU/vGPU enabled VMs are able to run
graphical applications.
For now, this feature is only supported with XenServer hypervisor but
can be extended to add the support of other hypervisors.
on hyperv. There were multiple issues here. Upload volume was actually
failing because the post download check for vhd on the cifs share was
unsuccessful. Also the agent code wasn't parsing the volume path correctly.
Fixed it too.
1) added createDetail to ResourceDetailDao interface to provide generic way of creating resourceDetail DB objects
2) added resource details support for firewall rules
1) Added support for Zone resource details
2) Renamed DcDetailsDao to DataCenterDetailsDao to follow the CS name convention for DataCenter related classes
* changed name for TaggedResourceType enum to ResourceObjectType as this enum is used both by ResourceMetaData and ResourceTags code
* enhanced the enum with extra fields resourceTagsSupport (boolean) and metadataSupport identifying if the resource supports tags and/or metadata.
* cleanup unused @Inject objects from the ResourceMetaDataManager
- change the AccountService::isRootAdmin(short) to isRootAdmin(long accountId);
- Change all callers
- Change all places that check the account.getType() directly to call the AccountManagerImpl.
