> Most services that we authorize have some notion of superuser.
> # hbase has a property which lists the superuse id.  Ranger plugin skips most authorizations for that superuser.
> # In case of kafka unless proper policies exist for the service user cluster won't come up.
> # At other times people have asked that auditing be done differently for the service user.
> One way to remedy these is to add a formal notion of a superuser for a service and deal with it appropriately during service creation, during authorization in the plugin, etc.
