----------------------------------------
Thanks for the answer [~arina], would it be possible to add to the backlog?
> Support impersonation on local file system
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DRILL-7475
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-7475
> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.15.0
> Reporter: Krzysztof Styrc
> Priority: Major
>
> Hi,
> we'd like to setup Drill to as SQL interface for files stored on local file
> system (non HDFS) with multi user access - each user/group authorized to
> access only selected tables/views.
>
> *Environment:*
> CentOS 6.7
> {code:java}
> [dataiku@quickstart apache-drill-1.16.0]$ lsb_release -a
> LSB Version: :base-4.0-amd64:base-4.0-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch
> Distributor ID: CentOS
> Description: CentOS release 6.7 (Final)
> Release: 6.7
> Codename: Final{code}
> Apache Drill 1.16.0 with the following config (drill-override.conf, Drill
> running as root user):
> {code:java}
> drill.exec: {
> cluster-id: "unit8drill",
> zk.connect: "localhost:2181",
> impersonation: {
> enabled: true,
> },
> security: {
> auth.mechanisms : ["PLAIN"],
> },
> security.user.auth: {
> enabled: true,
> packages += "org.apache.drill.exec.rpc.user.security",
> impl: "pam4j",
> pam_profiles: [ "sudo", "login" ],
> }

> Created a view on *local file system* (not HDFS) that is configured to be
> accessible only by bob user:
> {code:java}
> [xyz@quickstart views]$ ls -l
> total 4
> -rwx------ 1 bob bob 247 Dec 5 11:57 project_1_abc.view.drill
> {code}
>
> *Steps to reproduce:*
> Use sqlline to query project_1_abc view as alice user:
> {code:java}
> apache drill> select count(*) from dfs.views.project_1_abc;
> +--------+
> | EXPR$0 |
> +--------+
> | 418 |
> +--------+
> 1 row selected (0.461 seconds)
> {code}
> *Expected result:*
> Querying project_1_abc view as user alice should throw an error, as only bob
> user has access to this view.
>
> *Actual result:*
> User alice is able to query project_1_abc view even though she doesn't have
> permissions on file system. The question is, does Drill support RBAC on local
> file system? If so, what could we be doing wrong?
>
> *Additional Information:*
> The Drill process runs as root in order to have access to ```/etc/shadow```
> etc.
> Authentication works fine. We're able to use sqlline as well as Web UI in
> order to run SQL queries. Also, users that are in the root group have access
> to Storage, Threads and Logs tabs.
>
> Unfortunately, all the users have access to all tables/directories/views,
> regardless of the permissions set on the local file system. Furthermore,
> inspecting the Drill process with auditctl reveals that the Drill process
> user (root) is accessing the files instead of impersonating user as one would
> expect while using impersonation.
>
> Attaching with java debugger also reveals that even though it's local file
> system, Drill uses ```ProxyLocalFileSystem``` from hive-exec JAR in
> ```ImpersonationUtil.createFileSystem(...)```.
