[jira] [Created] (SENTRY-110) Add user's home directory as implied URI access

Ben Spivey created SENTRY-110:
---------------------------------

             Summary: Add user's home directory as implied URI access
                 Key: SENTRY-110
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-110
             Project: Sentry
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Ben Spivey


It would be great if by default users are granted access to their own home directory (/user/<username>) without having an administrator grant them URI access.  Explicit access does not scale well and requires frequent policy file changes.  Having this feature would allow users to export query results as files in their home directory on HDFS.

As part of this, there should be a global configuration to disable this feature.
