DESCRIBE_CLUSTER request needs ALTER permission when connecting to controller. However, the error message does not include the reason. There is a good explanation in the origin PR (https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/14306#discussion_r1312367762) and we should add it to the exception message. ### Committer Checklist (excluded from commit message) - [ ] Verify design and implementation - [ ] Verify test coverage and CI build status - [ ] Verify documentation (including upgrade notes) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
