Major Description
Attempting to list a directory (for example, /demo/data/Customers) on which the user does not have READ and EXECUTE access fails with 'Permission denied' error - as expected. Ranger HDFS plugin generates an audit log for access to HDFS files/directories - irrespective of whether the access is allowed or denied. However, if the user does not have EXECUTE access on the parent directory (for example, /demo/data), no audit log is generated for the denial.
