title: How to convert a snapshot to a snapshot to an Image in Openstack?
body: <p>It seems that snapshots and instances are very similar (e.g. <a href="https://serverfault.com/questions/527449/why-does-openstack-distinguish-images-from-snapshots">https://serverfault.com/questions/527449/why-does-openstack-distinguish-images-from-snapshots</a>). </p>
  
  <p>However, I've been unable to share snapshots publicly globally (i.e. across all projects). Note, I'm a user of the OpenStack installation, not an administrator of the installation.</p>
  
  <p>Assuming that Images don't suffer the same limitation of Snapshots, is there a procedure for convert a snapshot to an image? If not, maybe I should ask a separate question, but my cloud admin tells me it needs to be an image.</p>
