> Currently, we have an option ranger.admin.allow.unauthenticated.access to allow unauthenticated clients to perform a series of API operations. This option allows the client to perform both dangerous grant/revoke permission operation and relatively safe download operation.
> In many cases, allowing anonymous downloading of policy is not a serious risk problem. On the contrary, the complicated kerberos and SSL settings make it difficult for ranger plugin embedded in third-party services to complete the task of refreshing policy, which may be a bigger problem. In particular, refresh failure often has no obvious features for administrators to discover.
> Therefore, I suggest that ranger increase the ability to allow client to download policy/tag/roles anonymously.
> There are two ways to achieve it.
>  
> 1. Just limit the ability of  "ranger.admin.allow.unauthenticated.access=true"
> which needs to modify "security-admin/src/main/resources/conf.dist/security-applicationContext.xml" to remove dangerous operations from '
> security="none"'.
>  
> 2. Add a candidate value "downloadonly" to "ranger.admin.allow.unauthenticated.access"
> Which needs modify ServiceRest.Java and BizUtil.java to implement the enhanced checking logic. 
>  
> I have a patch for method2
