> Currently listing partition reassignments requires Cluster Describe
> permission. This is quite annoying since it takes the user back to the days
> before KIP-352 where they cannot distinguish under-replicated partitions that
> are a result of reassignment. Since both the adding/removing replicas are
> visible in the replica set, I cannot think of a good reason a user should be
> unable to tell which is which. I suggest we change the permission to Topic
> Describe instead.
