-------------------------------------------------

[~spena] Can you be more clear? Does that mean privileges such as DROP, ALTER, 
INDEX, LOCK will not be allowed unless they are configured in new configuration 
that is being proposed?

> Provide a configuration option to permit specific DB privileges to be granted 
> explicitly

> Some DB clients would not like that privileges, such as DROP, ALTER, INDEX, 
> LOCK, can be granted explicitly by Sentry admins because there are no use 
> cases and some can be prone to security errors if not handled correctly.
> Being 2.x a minor version, to avoid incompatibility, then a new configuration 
> should be added that explicitly defines the set of privileges that can be 
> granted on Sentry.
> This is exclusively for DB policies.
