---------------------------------------
Summary: 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
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 sets of permissions to be
controlled in one place 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.
