>             Project: Kafka
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: security
>    Affects Versions: 0.10.2.1
>            Reporter: Vahid Hashemian
>            Assignee: Vahid Hashemian

> The {{ListGroup}} API authorizes requests with _Describe_ access to the cluster resource:
> {code}
>   def handleListGroupsRequest(request: RequestChannel.Request) {
>     if (!authorize(request.session, Describe, Resource.ClusterResource)) {
>       sendResponseMaybeThrottle(request, requestThrottleMs =>
>         ListGroupsResponse.fromError(requestThrottleMs, Errors.CLUSTER_AUTHORIZATION_FAILED))
>     } else {
>       ...
> {code}
>  However, the list of operations (or permissions) allowed for the cluster resource does not include _Describe_:
> {code}
>   val ResourceTypeToValidOperations = Map[ResourceType, Set[Operation]] (
>     ...
>     Cluster -> Set(Create, ClusterAction, DescribeConfigs, AlterConfigs, IdempotentWrite, All),
>     ...
>   )
> {code}
> Only a user with _All_ cluster permission can successfully call the {{ListGroup}} API. No other permission (not even any combination that does not include _All_) would let user use this API.
> The bug could be as simple as a typo in the API handler. Though it's not obvious what actual permission was meant to be used there (perhaps _DescribeConfigs_?)
