Hello,

Let's say a user has the following rights on HDFS (which are constrained Apache 
Ranger):

/prd/a/b/c <- read right
/prd/a/b/d <- read/write right

I would like to get a broad picture of  his/her complete access rights. 

I could look at the general policies in Apache Ranger and try to figure out 
which apply to my user, but that's complicated.

I wonder if there is another way (which ideally could be automated with a 
script) roughly:

- impersonate the user as, say, admin, with kinit; e.g. kinit <user>
- scan all HDFS directories and try to read or write

Does anyone have suggestions?

PS I've asked similar questions on the Apache Ranger mailing list, but with no 
success.

Many thanks.

Philippe
