Description

Currently out of box kafka authorizer and ACLs only support single principal/users. This is kind of a two part jira where we add support to convert kerberos principal to unix user names and then from unix user name to group.

With this feature , authorizer will be able to support Group level acls so admins wont have to add support for individual users.
