 Negative Tests
 --------------
-Newly added negative tests should use the negative test framework. First step
-is to create an interface description in a python file under
-`tempest/api_schema/request/`. These descriptions consists of two important
-sections for the test (one of those is mandatory):
-
- - A resource (part of the URL of the request): Resources needed for a test
-   must be created in `setUpClass` and registered with `set_resource` e.g.:
-   `cls.set_resource("server", server['id'])`
-
- - A json schema: defines properties for a request.
-
-After that a test class must be added to automatically generate test scenarios
-out of the given interface description::
-
-    load_tests = test.NegativeAutoTest.load_tests
-
-    @test.SimpleNegativeAutoTest
-    class SampleTestNegativeTestJSON(<your base class>, test.NegativeAutoTest):
-        _service = 'compute'
-        _schema = <your schema file>
-
-The class decorator `SimpleNegativeAutoTest` will automatically generate test
-cases out of the given schema in the attribute `_schema`.
-
-All negative tests should be added into a separate negative test file.
-If such a file doesn't exist for the particular resource being tested a new
-test file should be added.

 ----------------
 
-Tempest currently has two different ways in configuration to provide credentials
-to use when running Tempest. One is a traditional set of configuration options
-in the tempest.conf file. These options are clearly labelled in the ``identity``
-section and let you specify a set of credentials for a regular user, a global
-admin user, and an alternate user, consisting of a username, password, and
-project name.
+Tempest allows for configuring a set of admin credentials in the ``auth``
+section, via the following parameters:
 
-The other method to provide credentials is using the accounts.yaml file. This
-file is used to specify an arbitrary number of users available to run tests
-with. You can specify the location of the file in the ``auth`` section in the
+ #. ``admin_username``
+ #. ``admin_password``
+ #. ``admin_project_name``
+ #. ``admin_domain_name``
+
+Admin credentials are not mandatory to run Tempest, but when provided they
+can be used to:
+
+- Run tests for admin APIs
+- Generate test credentials on the fly (see `Dynamic Credentials`_)
+
+Tempest allows for configuring pre-provisioned test credentials as well.
+This can be done using the accounts.yaml file (see
+`Pre-Provisioned Credentials`_). This file is used to specify an arbitrary
+number of users available to run tests with.
+You can specify the location of the file in the ``auth`` section in the

-options for providing credentials to Tempest will be deprecated and removed in

-
-When Tempest was refactored to allow for locking test accounts, the original
-non-project isolated case was converted to internally work similarly to the
-accounts.yaml file. This mechanism was then called the legacy test accounts
-provider. To use the legacy test accounts provider you can specify the sets of
-credentials in the configuration file as detailed above with following nine
-options in the ``identity`` section:
-
- #. ``username``
- #. ``password``

- #. ``alt_username``
- #. ``alt_password``
- #. ``alt_project_name``
-
-If using Identity API v3, use the ``domain_name`` option to specify a
-domain other than the default domain.  The ``auth_version`` setting is
-used to switch between v2 (``v2``) or v3 (``v3``) versions of the Identity
-API.
-
-And in the ``auth`` section:
-
- #. ``use_dynamic_credentials = False``
- #. Comment out ``test_accounts_file`` or keep it empty.
-
-It only makes sense to use this if parallel execution isn't needed, since
-Tempest won't be able to properly isolate tests using this. Additionally, using
-the traditional config options for credentials is not able to provide
-credentials to tests requiring specific roles on accounts. This is because the
-config options do not give sufficient flexibility to describe the roles assigned
-to a user for running the tests. There are additional limitations with regard to
-network configuration when using this credential provider mechanism - see the
