OpenStack – Could not find default role “user”

After you first login into OpenStack and start administering it, you may get “Could not find default role “user” in Keystone.

Here is the error:

And here is how to solve it:

If you go to /etc/openstack-dashboard/local-settings file, you should have line OPENSTACK_KEYSTONE_DEFAULT_ROLE = “user” in that file.

However, it looks like this role is missing, so, to create it, we need to first execute:

. admin-openrc

and then following command to create role user

openstack role create user

That should resolve your problem, at least it have resolved mine.
