Hi all, I have created a KIP to optionally request authorised operations on resources when describing resources:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/KIP-430+-+Return+Authorized+Operations+in+Describe+Responses This includes only information that users with Describe access can obtain using other means and hence is consistent with our security model. It is intended to made it easier for clients to obtain this information. Feedback and suggestions welcome. Thank you, Rajini
