-------------------------------------------
Summary: Allow granting System.GRANT permission
Key: ACCUMULO-1318
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-1318
Project: Accumulo
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
Fix For: 1.6.0
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.
