Brock Noland commented on SENTRY-110:
-------------------------------------

I think this is a useful feature! Thank you much for creating this JIRA. I agree, an option to disable this feature is a good idea as well.

> It would be great if by default users are granted access to their own home directory (/user/<username>) without having an administrator grant them URI access.  Explicit access does not scale well and requires frequent policy file changes.  Having this feature would allow users to export query results as files in their home directory on HDFS.
> As part of this, there should be a global configuration to disable this feature.
