Attachment: RANGER-785.patch
> Ranger plugins should support a formal notion of super user
> -----------------------------------------------------------

> Key: RANGER-785
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RANGER-785
> Project: Ranger
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: plugins
> Reporter: Alok Lal
> Assignee: Madhan Neethiraj
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.1.0

> Attachments: RANGER-785.patch

>
> Most services that we authorize have some notion of superuser.
> # hbase has a property which lists the superuse id. Ranger plugin skips most
> authorizations for that superuser.
> # In case of kafka unless proper policies exist for the service user cluster
> won't come up.
> # At other times people have asked that auditing be done differently for the
> service user.
> One way to remedy these is to add a formal notion of a superuser for a
> service and deal with it appropriately during service creation, during
> authorization in the plugin, etc.
