I'm receiving this exception even for users of admin role,
Is this an issue with sentry.

as all other load, select create and drop are working as per privileges set in the policy file.

for "add jar" command its failing even for users of admin role.

Under Sentry you want an admin to inspect all Jars and then add them globally using

hive.aux.jars.path=/path/to/jar

ADD JAR Restricted unless

hive.server2.authorization.external.exec=true
hive.security.authorization.enabled=false
