>                 Key: KAFKA-10717
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-10717
>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: log
>    Affects Versions: 2.6.0, 2.5.1
>         Environment: kafka 2.5.1
> .net confluent consumer (nuget 1.5.2)
>            Reporter: Stefan Bejan
>            Priority: Minor

> When a consumer requires metadata (describe) on all the topics - for example on startup, it receives information about the topics it has access to, in accordance with its ACL permissions, as expected.
> However, the kafka broker logs that the user is not authorized to describe all the other topics. If there is a large number of topics in the system and one particular user has describe access to a small subset, a lot of entries are inserted in {{kafka-authorizer.log}} file. Moreover, this happens for each consumer, each time they refresh the metadata (by default, each 5 minutes).
> This issue has been reproduced using Confluent .NET consumer ([https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-dotnet/issues/1457]) and using a client connection from Kafka Tool 2.0.8.
