-------------------------------------

             Summary: Update ACL matrix to reflect reality
                 Key: HBASE-12723
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12723
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Enis Soztutar
             Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0


The ACL matrix in the book should be updated with the recent changes.  
https://hbase.apache.org/book/appendix_acl_matrix.html

Also the format is not optimal. There is a hierarchy relation between scopes (GLOBAL > NS > TABLE), but not so much between Permissions (A,C,R)

Some things to do:
- {{Minimum Permission}} column does not make sense. We should replace it. 
- Add information about superuser 
- grant is a multi level thing. Required permissions depend on the scope.
- See HBASE-12511 and others changed some of the permissions 

What I would like to see at the end is something like:
{code}
createNamespace        : superuser | global(A)
deleteNamespace        : superuser | global(A) | NS(A)
modifyNamespace        : superuser | global(A) | NS(A)
getNamespaceDescriptor : superuser | global(A) | NS(A)
listNamespaces         : All access*
createTable            : superuser | global(C) | NS(C)
grant 
  NS Perm              : superuser | global(A) | NS(A)
  Table Perm           : ...
revoke 
  NS Perm              : superuser | global(A) | NS(A)
  Table Perm           : ...
getPerms 
  NS perm              : superuser | global(A) | NS(A)
  Table Perm           : ...
{code}


See HBASE-12511.
