[jira] [Updated] (RANGER-3150) Retrieve the list of privileges granted to a principal

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-3150?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Fang-Yu Rao updated RANGER-3150:
--------------------------------
    Description: 
Right now there is no straightforward way provided by {{RangerBasePlugin}} that allows Impala to retrieve the list of privileges granted to a principal, which could be a user, a group, or a role. It looks like the resources always need to be explicitly specified in a {{RangerAccessRequest}} in order for a plugin user to retrieve from a {{RangerResourceACLs}} the privileges granted to a principal. It would be nice if there is no such requirement, i.e., having to specify the resources.

Refer to [RangerImpaladAuthorizationManager#getPrivileges()|https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/master/fe/src/main/java/org/apache/impala/authorization/ranger/RangerImpaladAuthorizationManager.java#L340-L403] for how Impala retrieves the privileges granted to a principal with respect to the specified resources.
