Hoss Man commented on SOLR-8440:
--------------------------------
bq. ... Alternatively, ...
I think fundementally there are 3 distinct points here...
# any {{bin/solr}} subcommand that wants to write to a file should always give
a clear error message if the current effective UID doesn't have the neccessary
permissions
# {{bin/solr}} should never assume any particular file ownership/permissions
just based on the convention/defaults of the installer -- users might change
them later, so the checks/warnings/msgs produced by #1 should always account
for that possibility.
# it may make sense for any {{auth}} related subcommands to require that the
user running the command be root -- that might be a good check to have
independent of whether the current effective UID already has write permissions
to whatever files it wants to modify.

> Now that BasicAuthPlugin will be able to work without an AuthorizationPlugin
> (SOLR-8429), it would be sweet to provide a super simple way to "Password
> protect Solr"™ right from the command line:
> {noformat}
> bin/solr basicAuth -adduser -user solr -pass SolrRocks
> {noformat}
> It would take the mystery out of enabling one single password across the
> board. The command would do something like this
> # Check if HTTPS is enabled, and if not, print a friendly warning
> # Check if {{/security.json}} already exists
> ## NO => create one with only plugin class defined
> ## YES => Abort if exists but plugin is not {{BasicAuthPlugin}}
> # Using security REST API, add the new user
