+    Adjusts the documented permissions for the images pool for the Cinder user.
+    This is to support copy on write snapshots of VMs using Ceph backed
+    ephemeral storage. Existing deployments will need to manually adjust these
+    values using the CLI (the collection is currently not smart enough to do this):
+    ``ceph auth caps client.cinder mon 'profile rbd' osd 'profile rbd
+    pool=volumes, profile rbd pool=vms, profile rbd pool=images' mgr 'profile
+    rbd pool=volumes, profile rbd pool=vms'``.
