Benoy Antony created HADOOP-10650: ------------------------------------- Summary: Add ability to specify a negative ACL (black list) of users and groups Key: HADOOP-10650 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10650 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Benoy Antony Assignee: Benoy Antony
Currently , it is possible to define a acl (user and groups) for a service. To temporarily remove authorization for a set of users, administrator needs to remove the users from the specific group and this may be a lengthy process ( update ldap groups, flush caches on machines). If there is a facility to define a negative acs for services, then administrator can disable users by specifying the users in negative acls. In other words, one can specify a whitelist of users and groups as well as a blacklist of users and groups. One can also specify a default blacklist to disable the users from accessing any service. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
