+    Add support of running Patrole against a custom requirements YAML that
+    defines RBAC requirements. The YAML file lists all the APIs and the roles
+    that should have access to the APIs. The purpose of running Patrole against
+    a requirements YAML is to verify that the RBAC policy is in accordance to
+    deployment specific requirements. Running Patrole against a requirements
+    YAML is completely optional and can be enabled by setting the
+    ``[rbac] test_custom_requirements`` option to True in Tempest's
+    configuration file. The requirements YAML must be located on the same host
+    that Patrole runs on.
