             Summary: Add more permission settings to the web UI
                 Key: FLINK-6454
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-6454
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Webfrontend
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen


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.
