Aleksey Yeschenko updated CASSANDRA-7653: ----------------------------------------- Reviewer: Aleksey Yeschenko > Add role based access control to Cassandra > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: CASSANDRA-7653 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-7653 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Core > Reporter: Mike Adamson > Fix For: 3.0 > > Attachments: 7653.patch > > > The current authentication model supports granting permissions to individual > users. While this is OK for small or medium organizations wanting to > implement authorization, it does not work well in large organizations because > of the overhead of having to maintain the permissions for each user. > Introducing roles into the authentication model would allow sets of > permissions to be controlled in one place as a role and then the role granted > to users. Roles should also be able to be granted to other roles to allow > hierarchical sets of permissions to be built up. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
