["Sachin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-2149?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16665229#comment-16665229 ] 

Sachin commented on SENTRY-2149:
--------------------------------

[~akolb] - Could please let me know how to use the interactive Sentry CLI? so that I can use show groups command.

As sentry shell is only for Hive authorization metadata now, and supports the following commands:

create/drop role
add/delete group to/from role
grant/revoke privilege to/from role
list role for group
list privilege for role

> Sentry allows to list the roles
>  SHOW ROLES;
>  There should be also a way to show the groups . Currently it seems that this is only possible by directly querying the Sentry database. This functionality should be provided out-of-the-box similar to the statement above.
> The functionality could look similar to the following statement
> {code:sql}
> SHOW GROUPS;{code}
