> Key: RANGER-2000
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-2000
> Project: Ranger
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Ranger
> Reporter: Srikanth Venkat
> Assignee: Abhay Kulkarni
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.0.0
>
>
> Currently Ranger policies have effectiveness period that is permanent i.e.
> once authored they can only be disabled or enabled. There are many use cases
> where such policies or even a policy condition needs to be time bound. For
> example certain financial information about earnings that is sensitive and
> restricted only until the earnings release date.
> it would be great to have the ability to specify with each policy or policy
> condition a time horizon when it is effective (i.e.) either be effective
> after a certain date and/or expire after a specific date or only valid within
> a certain time window and have Ranger check whether the policy is effective
> before evaluating in the policy engine. Therefore, policy authoring can be
> simplified and does not require any subsequent action from the user,
> basically making policy authoring a one time effort and users do not have to
> go back disable the policies once it is past the expiration date.
> This means that:
> # Ranger policy engine needs to be able to recognize the start and end times
> for policies or specific policy items (conditions) and enforce them based on
> period of validity specified by the user.
> # Active policies should be checked not only based on the resource, user and
> environment context but also whether the policy itself or policy item
> condition is effective.
