Szabolcs Bukros updated HBASE-27493:

> Allow namespace admins to clone snapshots created by them
> ---------------------------------------------------------

> Key: HBASE-27493
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27493
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: snapshots
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha-3, 2.5.1
> Reporter: Szabolcs Bukros
> Assignee: Szabolcs Bukros
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.6.0, 3.0.0-alpha-4
>
>
> Creating a snapshot requires table admin permissions. But cloning it requires
> global admin permissions unless the user owns the snapshot and wants to
> recreate the original table the snapshot was based on using the same table
> name. This puts unnecessary load on the few people having global admin
> permissions. I would like to relax this rule a bit and allow the owner of the
> snapshot to clone it into any namespace where they have admin permissions
> regardless of the table name used.
