             Summary: Extend header based authentication to include ROLE info in a new header
                 Key: RANGER-5767
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-5767
             Project: Ranger
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Ranger
            Reporter: Abhishek Kumar
            Assignee: Abhishek Kumar


Header based authentication support was added in RANGER-5499. 

Extend the support to add an additional header for roles using a new config: 

key: 'ranger.admin.authn.header.roles'
example value: 'X-Forwarded-Roles'

Roles can be passed in this HTTP header which Ranger understands (like: ROLE_SYS_ADMIN, ROLE_ADMIN_AUDITOR, ROLE_USER) which will be assigned to the user authenticated in Ranger.
