Description

Currently if I want to check if a user is an administrator I either check the local sentry config file or make a call that is only accessible to sentry admin and check for an exception.  Additionally, If I want to see if an specific configuration is enabled, I need to check the local sentry config which could bypass the sentry server config.

What I'd like is to have a method or two that allows this through the SentryPolicyServiceClient.  e.g.

boolean client.isAdmin(String user)

boolean client.isOwnerPrivilegeEnabled()

boolean client.isOwnerPrivilegeWithGrantEnabled()
