@revans2 @harshach For supporting the actual jira issue "ui server being
able to impersonate users" we probably need to support wildcards ("allow userX
to impersonate all users(*) from localhost") or allow the "nimbus.admin" users
to impersonate all users from all hosts. Any preferences?

> Storm security adds features of authenticating with kerberos and than uses
> that principal and TGT as way to authorize user operations, topology
> operation. Currently Storm UI user needs to be part of nimbus.admins to get
> details on user submitted topologies. Ideally storm ui needs to take
> authenticated user principal to submit requests to nimbus which will than
> authorize the user rather than storm UI user. This feature will also benefit
> superusers to impersonate other users to submit topologies in a secured way.
