Listing security groups in the CLI

To obtain a listing of security groups, use the openstack security group list command as follows:

openstack security group list[--project <project>][--project-domain <project-domain>] 

The output returned includes the ID, name, and description of all security groups associated with the scoped or specified project. If run as a user with the admin role, all security groups across all projects will be listed.
