kalyan kumar kalvagadda commented on SENTRY-2149:
-------------------------------------------------
There are couple of things here
# "SHOW ROLES" command list all the roles that are grant to user who is
running this command.
# I'm not sure what do you meant when you said "SHOW GROUPS" should be
supported.
## If you meant, "SHOW GROUPS" should return the list of the groups that user
belongs. This is not a feature that sentry should be supporting as sentry is
not a source of truth for this information.
## This information should be retrieved from differently. It should be based
on the user<=>group mapping service that you are using.
> Implement functionality to show groups

> Priority: Major

> Sentry allows to list the roles
> SHOW ROLES;
> There should be also a way to show the groups . Currently it seems that this
> is only possible by directly querying the Sentry database. This functionality
> should be provided out-of-the-box similar to the statement above.
> The functionality could look similar to the following statement
> {code:sql}
> SHOW GROUPS;{code}
