Venkatesh Seetharam commented on FALCON-557:
--------------------------------------------
Do we need a supergroup?
> Add super-user who is authorized for all
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: FALCON-557
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-557
> Project: Falcon
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Affects Versions: 0.6
> Reporter: Venkatesh Seetharam
> Labels: authorization, security
>
> The super-user is the user with the same identity as falcon process itself.
> Loosely, if you started the falcon process, then you are the super-user. The
> super-user can do anything in that permissions checks never fail for the
> super-user.
