[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-3637) Users should not need SYSTEM permission to read authorizations

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3637?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14350881#comment-14350881 ] 

Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-3637:
---------------------------------------------

ALTER_USER makes sense (esp. since often the reasons why you'd want to read them is because you want to add one if it's missing).
For backwards-compatibility, the rule should be (ALTER_USER or SYSTEM).

> Currently, users must have System.SYSTEM permission to get the authorizations of another user.
> Either System.ALTER_USER should suffice or we should add an additional permission (i.e. System.READ_AUTHS).
