/** List of privileges */
/**
* Enumerates the privileges used by the built-in RBAC authorizer ({@link
* org.apache.polaris.core.auth.PolarisAuthorizerImpl}). In Polaris' RBAC model, a
* <em>securable</em> is a Polaris entity (such as a catalog, namespace, table, or policy) on which
* access may be controlled by granting privileges to a grantee (typically a catalog role or
* principal role). Each privilege in this enum targets a specific {@link PolarisEntityType} of
* securable and is checked against that securable during authorization.
*
* <p>Alternative authorizer implementations such as the OPA-based authorizer may not use these

nit: While this statement is valid, is it relevant to this class? Why should the reader be concerned with OPA in the context of PolarisPrivilege? The paragraph above already scopes it down to the Internal Authorizer 🤔

OPA is an example here, I understand that it looks like duplication, just to clarify more to avoid confusions. I can remove this paragraph if you feel strongly about it.

* privileges. They operate at the {@link org.apache.polaris.core.auth.PolarisAuthorizableOperation}
* level and delegate all privilege/permission logic to external PDPs.
