kalyan kumar kalvagadda commented on SENTRY-2149:
-------------------------------------------------

There are couple of things here
 # "SHOW ROLES" command list all the roles that are grant to user who is running this command.
 # I'm not sure what do you meant when you said "SHOW GROUPS" should be supported.
 ## If you meant,  "SHOW GROUPS" should return the list of the groups that user belongs. This is not a feature that sentry should be supporting as sentry is not a source of truth for this information.
 ## This information should be retrieved from differently. It should be based on the user<=>group mapping service that you are using.

> Sentry allows to list the roles
>  SHOW ROLES;
>  There should be also a way to show the groups . Currently it seems that this is only possible by directly querying the Sentry database. This functionality should be provided out-of-the-box similar to the statement above.
> The functionality could look similar to the following statement
> {code:sql}
> SHOW GROUPS;{code}
