mik-laj commented on issue #7070: [AIRFLOW-6480] Hide kerberos command if kerberos is disabled URL: https://github.com/apache/airflow/pull/7070#issuecomment-571162170 The main benefit is to improve the user experience. Many companies do not use Kerberos, but this option appears on the user screen. This can confuse new users because they don't know what Kerberos is and whether they should use it. However, if the company decides to use Kerberos, then the option is still available, and people should be aware of it. We have win-win situations because new users can use Airflow more easily, and current users can still use this feature. In my opinion, we should not think of Airflow CLI as a utils application that performs one function, e.g. CURL. But as a complex application that is used in everyday work. Some users install Airflow locally and use CLI in their daily work. In the next step, they upload files to the production server. In my opinion, we should split CLI into two parts: * one intended for normal users * one for administrators The administrator would be able to run Kerberos. The user would not have this command. Unfortunately, it will be very difficult to do now, but...in the future, after we create the API, we can go back to this topic. Currently, this is the best way to improve the experience for a normal user
