An example of this is that a user requests that Nova save a snapshot of a VM. Nova passes the request to Glance, Glance writes the image to a Swift container as a set of objects. In this case, the user cannot modify the snapshot without also having a valid token from the service. Nor can the service update the data without a valid token from the user. But the data is still stored in the user's account in Swift, which makes accounting simpler.
