Rangers,
For more than a year now, Apache Ranger community has been adding significant enhancements in RANGER-3923 branch. These enhancements enable business managers to manage access to datasets, instead of having data owners to manage access to individual resources like tables, columns, files, directories. In addition, this approach offers several benefits including: reduced time for users in getting access to data across multiple services, with a single policy update. business managers like project managers to manage access to datasets instead of multiple data owners, which reduces the time taken to get access to data. separation of responsibilities: data owners focus on building datasets, while business managers focus on managing access to datasets. eliminate the need to update access policies for any changes in datasets like add/remove/change resources. Apache Ranger community has built APIs and UI to manage datasets and access to datasets. Apache Ranger policy engine has been updated as well to support datasets. I propose merging these enhancements into master branch this week, and work towards releasing Apache Ranger 3.0 version, by next month. Please share your feedback. Looking forward to Apache Ranger 3.0 release! Thanks, Madhan
