I agree with you: it's a bit ugly, but functional. > Allow granting System.GRANT permission > -------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-1318 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1318 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: master, tserver > Reporter: Christopher Tubbs > Assignee: Josh Elser > Labels: release_notes, security > Fix For: 1.7.0 > > Time Spent: 10m > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > With the addition of pluggable authentication/authorizor/permissions handler modules (ACCUMULO-259), it seems we should rely more on these modules to set their policy for who has which permissions. > As such, I don't believe we should continue to constrain the System.GRANT permission, so that it is held only by the root user. This is an especially important consideration for ACCUMULO-1300, because in that ticket, there will always be a "local" root user, but there's no reason that should be the de-facto account that manages other users' permissions from. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
