Description

As part of the Atlas virtual connector project we intend to build "rules" that relate to classifications within Atlas itself. These are logical definitions that will then be mapped to specific implementations such as rules/policies in ranger (but could also be in other systems like Oracle, or Apache Sentry – different enforcement approaches for different data access points).

Opening this Jira to build a "sync/build/link" tool that will generate ranger rules where possible.

(Very rough description ... will update & clarify)
