+Sample Configuration File
+==========================
+
+The following is a sample Patrole configuration for adaptation and use.
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+    [rbac]
+
+    # The role that you want the RBAC tests to use for RBAC testing
+    # This needs to be edited to run the test as a different role.
+    rbac_test_role = Member
+
+    # Enables RBAC Tempest tests if set to True. Otherwise, they are
+    # skipped.
+    enable_rbac = True
+
+    # If set to True, tests throw a RbacParsingException for policies
+    # not found in the policy file. Otherwise, they throw a skipException.
+    strict_policy_check = False
+
+    # List of the paths to search for policy files. Each policy path assumes that
+    # the service name is included in the path once. Also assumes Patrole is on the
+    # same host as the policy files. The paths should be ordered by precedence,
+    # with high-priority paths before low-priority paths. The first path that is
+    # found to contain the service's policy file will be used.
+    custom_policy_files = /etc/nova/policy.json,/etc/neutron/policy.json
+
+    # This option determines whether Patrole should run against a
+    # `custom_requirements_file` which defines RBAC requirements. The
+    # purpose of setting this flag to True is to verify that RBAC policy
+    # is in accordance to requirements. The idea is that the
+    # `custom_requirements_file` perfectly defines what the RBAC requirements
+    # are.
+    test_custom_requirements = False
+
+    File path of the yaml file that defines your RBAC requirements. This
+    # file must be located on the same host that Patrole runs on. The yaml
+    # file should be written as follows:
+    custom_requirements_file = patrole/requirements.txt
+
+    # DEPRECATED: The following config options set the location of the service's
+    # policy file. For services that have their policy in code (e.g., Nova),
+    # this would be the location of a custom policy.json, if one exists.
+    cinder_policy_file = /etc/cinder/policy.json
+    glance_policy_file = /etc/glance/policy.json
+    keystone_policy_file = /etc/keystone/policy.json
+    neutron_policy_file = /etc/neutron/policy.json
+    nova_policy_file = /etc/nova/policy.json
