> Currently listing partition reassignments requires Cluster Describe permission. This is quite annoying since it takes the user back to the days before KIP-352 where they cannot distinguish under-replicated partitions that are a result of reassignment. Since both the adding/removing replicas are visible in the replica set, I cannot think of a good reason a user should be unable to tell which is which. I suggest we change the permission to Topic Describe instead.
