             Summary: Falcon allows change of entity owner by non-super user
                 Key: FALCON-1340
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1340
             Project: Falcon
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: general
    Affects Versions: 0.6.1
            Reporter: Balu Vellanki
            Assignee: Balu Vellanki
             Fix For: 0.7


HDFS does not allow changing owner of a file by normal user. Should falcon 
allow the same for entities ? 

Today if two users belong to same group "users" and the falcon entity ACL is 
"owner=user1, group=users, permissions=*" , then user2 can update the falcon 
entity and claim ownership of this entity.  User2 can also change the group 
from "users" to "privateGroup" and lock out user1 from taking back ownership of 
entity.
