[jira] [Commented] (FLINK-6454) Add more permission settings to the web UI

["Chesnay Schepler (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6454?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16017303#comment-16017303 ] 

Chesnay Schepler commented on FLINK-6454:
-----------------------------------------

We can combine both approaches into a single setting.

We can have access privileges like "LOGS, DAG" etc and access levels like "JOB".
We then add a single configuration parameter "jobmanager.web.access", where you can specify a list of the above, like "JOB TM_LOG". We could also include a quantifier {{-}}, as in "JOB -DAG", which would allow to view all job information, except the dag. This should provide both compact, but optionally fine-grained, configuration.

> Currently, the web UI allows all users with access everything. Only job upload has a separate permission setting.
> We should generalize that to more aspects of the UI, such as cancelling jobs, accessing logs, or accessing metrics.
> We could add a flag for each feature (enable / disable).
> Alternatively, we can add an access level to the UI:
>     # view job only (dag, timeling, checkpoint stats)
>     # view dag and metrics + logs
>     # view dag/metrics/logs plus allow stop / cancel / savepoint
>     # allow all (before plus submitting new jobs)
> The second options is less flexible, but more compact to configure.
