########## File path: tour/authorizations.md ########## @@ -0,0 +1,42 @@ +--- +title: Authorizations +--- +An Authorization is an authority granted to a User that allows them to read certain data. A column in Accumulo can have +a visibility attached to it, limiting access to the data of that column. Only users who have an authorization equal to +the visibility will be able to read the data in that column. Review comment: One is a set and one is an expression. Could say a column visibility is a boolean expression that is evaluated using a scanners authorizations. If it evaluates to true, then the data is visible. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
