[jira] [Updated] (RANGER-2488) Ranger Kafka list consumer groups permission

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-2488?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Hari Sekhon updated RANGER-2488:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
In a kerberized environment, Kafka client is unable to list consumer groups to iterate over if the user only has Describe permission on their own topics rather than on all topics.
{code:java}
/usr/hdp/current/kafka-broker/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh --list --bootstrap-server <fqdn>{code}
It ends up with a blank output instead of the list of consumer groups.

If you then grant Describe permission to all topics, that command then gives you a list of consumer groups as expected.

I believe Kafka permissions have been improved to be more granular in KAFKA-6058.

Ranger needs to be updated to reflect these more granular Kafka permissions.

Interestingly after revoking all permissions to topics for my user I was still able to list the offsets for a known consumer group.
