Chunjun Xiao created HDFS-7389: ---------------------------------- Summary: Named user ACL cannot stop the user from accessing the FS entity. Key: HDFS-7389 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-7389 Project: Hadoop HDFS Issue Type: Bug Components: namenode Affects Versions: 2.5.1 Reporter: Chunjun Xiao
In http://hortonworks.com/blog/hdfs-acls-fine-grained-permissions-hdfs-files-hadoop/: {quote} It’s important to keep in mind the order of evaluation for ACL entries when a user attempts to access a file system object: 1. If the user is the file owner, then the owner permission bits are enforced. 2. Else if the user has a named user ACL entry, then those permissions are enforced. 3. Else if the user is a member of the file’s group or any named group in an ACL entry, then the union of permissions for all matching entries are enforced. (The user may be a member of multiple groups.) 4. If none of the above were applicable, then the other permission bits are enforced. {quote} Assume we have a user UserA from group GroupA, if we config a directory as following ACL entries: group:GroupA:rwx user:UserA:--- According to the design spec above, userA should have no access permission to the file object, while actually userA still has rwx access to the dir. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
