[jira] [Created] (KAFKA-8758) Know your KafkaPrincipal

Stéphane Derosiaux created KAFKA-8758:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Know your KafkaPrincipal
                 Key: KAFKA-8758
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-8758
             Project: Kafka
          Issue Type: Wish
          Components: admin
            Reporter: Stéphane Derosiaux


Hi,

In order to manage some tools around ACLs, it seems it's not possible to know "who you are" through the Admin API (to prevent deleting your own permissions for instance, but more globally, to know who you are).

The KafkaPrincipal is determined in the broker according to the channel and the principalBuilder, thus a client only can't determine its own identity.

Is it feasible to expose this info through a new KafkaAdmin API?
