“hdfs” user has permissions to do anything on any directory

Hi All,

I noticed that “hdfs” user has permissions to do anything on any directory. I have a policy defined in ranger for my FS in which i have not given any permission to hdfs user, but still it can view directories or make dir in any dir. Is this a bug or am i missing something here?

P.S: I changed the xasecure.add-hadoop-authorization flag also, but it also doesn’t have any effect on hdfs user.


Thanks
Harinder
