Github user hayssams commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin/pull/681#issuecomment-184531939 @prasadwagle I understand your concern regarding LDAP. However, you can still implement your own Authorisation realm using shiro and this would be a file holding all of you permissions. This would be something like ``` myOwnRealm = com.company.ZeppelinRealm securityManager.realms = $myOwnRealm ``` Shiro already support permissions stored in an [Ini file format](https://shiro.apache.org/static/1.2.1/apidocs/org/apache/shiro/realm/text/IniRealm.html) and [Properties file format](https://shiro.apache.org/static/1.2.1/apidocs/org/apache/shiro/realm/text/PropertiesRealm.html) on top on which you can base you implementation.
