Romain Rigaux commented on SENTRY-359:
--------------------------------------
It would be great to group the TSentryPrivilege by Role that way we know from
where they come from.
> Support Sentry service API to retrieve privilege hierarchy of the given
> authorizable object

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SENTRY-359
> Project: Sentry
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Reporter: Prasad Mujumdar
>
> The current implementation of list_sentry_privileges_for_provider is
> specifically to facilitate Sentry auth engine. It's not intended to be a
> general purpose metadata query.
> We should add a new API that returns the list of privileges
> (TSentryPrivilege) for the give authorizable object and all it's child
> objects.
> An initial implementation could limit itself to one level of hierarchy (eg
> when you query a database object, return the tables along with it).
