Anoop Sam John commented on HBASE-12745:
----------------------------------------
I was saying to do it this way
{code}
public boolean havingSystemAuth(byte[] user) throws IOException {
// Implementation for backward compatibility
if (this.superUsers.contains(Bytes.toString(user))) {
return true;
}
List<String> auths = this.getUserAuths(user, true);
if (LOG.isTraceEnabled()) {
LOG.trace("The auths for user " + Bytes.toString(user) + " are " + auths);
}
return auths.contains(SYSTEM_LABEL);
}
{code}
bq.In VisibilityContorller.checkCallingUserAuth(), we only call
havingSystemAuth(byte[] user).
Even if the VLS having havingSystemAuth(User), we won't consider and check
against group auths? That would not be correct. Can we call
havingSystemAuth(User) and fall back to havingSystemAuth(byte[]) in case the
latter not available in VLS?
> Visibility Labels: support visibility labels for user groups.

> The thinking is that we should support visibility labels to be associated
> with user groups.
> We will then be able grant visibility labels to a group in addition to
> individual users, which provides convenience and usability.
> We will use '@group' to denote a group name, as similarly done in
> AcccessController.
> For example,
> {code}
> set_auths '@group1', ['SECRET','PRIVATE']
> {code}
> {code}
> get_auth '@group1'
> {code}
> A user belonging to 'group1' will have all the visibility labels granted to
> 'group1'
> We'll also support super user groups as specified in hbase-site.xml.
> The code update will mainly be on the server side VisibilityLabelService
> implementation.
