+
+Where:
+
+* ``service`` - the service that is being tested (Cinder, Nova, etc.).
+* ``api_action`` - the policy action that is being tested. Examples:
+
+  * volume:create
+  * os_compute_api:servers:start
+  * add_image
+
+* ``allowed_role`` - the ``oslo.policy`` role that is allowed to perform the
+  API.
+
+Each item under ``logical_or_example`` is "logical OR"-ed together. Each role
+in the comma-separated string under ``logical_and_example`` is "logical AND"-ed
+together. And each item prefixed with "!" under ``logical_not_example`` is
+"logical negated".
+
+.. note::
+
+  The custom requirements file only allows policy actions to be mapped to
+  the associated roles that define it. Complex ``oslo.policy`` constructs
+  like ``literals`` or ``GenericChecks`` are not supported. For more
+  information, reference the `oslo.policy documentation`_.
+
+.. _oslo.policy documentation: https://docs.openstack.org/oslo.policy/latest/reference/api/oslo_policy.policy.html#policy-rule-expressions

+Examples
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Items within ``api_action`` are considered as logical or, so you may read:
+
 .. code-block:: yaml

-Where:
+as ``<allowed_role_1> and <allowed_role_2> or <allowed_role_3>``.
 
-service = the service that is being tested (Cinder, Nova, etc.).
+Also negative roles may be defined with an exclamation mark ahead of role:
 
-api_action = the policy action that is being tested. Examples:
+.. code-block:: yaml
 
-* volume:create
-* os_compute_api:servers:start
-* add_image
+    <service_foo>:
+      # "api_action_a: (allowed_role_1 and allowed_role_2 and not

+        - <allowed_role_1>, <allowed_role_2>, !<disallowed_role_4>
+        - <allowed_role_3>
 
-allowed_role = the ``oslo.policy`` role that is allowed to perform the API.
+This example must be read as ``<allowed_role_1> and <allowed_role_2> and not
+<disallowed_role_4> or <allowed_role_3>``.

+        <service_bar>:
+          <logical_not_example>:
+            - <!disallowed_role_5>
+
+    Each item under ``logical_or_example`` is "logical OR"-ed together. Each
+    role in the comma-separated string under ``logical_and_example`` is
+    "logical AND"-ed together. And each item prefixed with "!" under
+    ``logical_not_example`` is "logical negated".
+
+    This allows for expressing many more complex cases using the
+    ``requirements_authority`` YAML syntax. For example, the policy rule
+    (i.e. what may exist in a ``policy.yaml`` file)::
+
+        "foo_rule: (role:a and not role:b) or role:c"
+
+    May now be expressed using the YAML syntax as::
+
+        foo_rule:
+            - a, !b
+            - c
