Hi Selva +1 for AI initiatives and looking forward to contributing to these initiatives.
Here are a few more use cases we can consider- 1) Explainable Ranger Authorization i.e why ranger is making a certain authorization decision - Other Authorization products such as OsoHQ are already advertising this as a novel feature of their product https://www.osohq.com/post/how-we-built-an-interactive-debugger. I have some ideas on how we can use LLMs to achieve this for Ranger. This should also help customers understand if a user will have access to a certain piece of data based of the current ranger admin data 2) AI ranger Admin: Natural language/Prompt based policy creation - User gives their use case based on which AI should be able to create policies. A simple example: define a policy in a way that a user cannot access the salary and gender data at the same time 3) Not a user facing feature but for developers only - in my experience, LLMs in their current form right now are not good at assisting developers for Ranger development atleast for slightly more complex use cases. How and what knowledge can we give to LLMs so that it can be better suited for aiding the developers to develop new features. This initiative will include prompt engineering, knowledge base creation and chat with Ranger documentation. Would love to discuss what can be the next steps for these initiatives.
