> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0

> Assignee: Abhay Kulkarni
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.7.0, 0.6.3

>
> It would be good to support variables in resources and users.
> E.g.
> HDFS Resource = /home/$user
> or
> Table Resource = ${user}_*
> Users allowed = $user
> Where $user will be expanded to the current user.
> I think, resource substitution will be easy. For permission, we can use key
> word like we use for all users group="public". We can use key word like
> "USER" or something like that.
