> Hi, 
> We are looking to roll out HBase and are in the process to design the security model. 
> We are looking to implement global DBAs and Namespace specific administrators. 
> So for example the global dba would create a namespace and grant a user/group admin privileges within that ns. 
> So that a given ns admin can in turn create objects and grant permission within the given ns only. 
> We have run into some issues at the ns admin level. It appears that a ns admin can NOT grant to a grop unless it also has global admin privilege. But once it has global admin privilege it can grant in any NS not just the one where it has admin privileges. 
> Based on the HBase documentation at http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#appendix_acl_matrix 
> Table 13. ACL Matrix 
> Interface	Operation	Permissions 
> AccessController grant(global level) global(A) 
> grant(namespace level) global(A)|NS(A) 
> grant at a namespace level should be possible for someone with global A OR (|) NS A permission. 
> As you will see in our test it does not work if NS A permission is granted but global A permission is not. 
> Here you can see that group hbaseappltest_ns1admin has XCA permission on ns1. 
> {code}
> hbase(main):011:0> scan 'hbase:acl' 
> ROW COLUMN+CELL 
> @ns1 column=l:@hbaseappltest_ns1admin, timestamp=1446676679787, value=XCA 
> {code}
> However: 
> Here you can see that a user who is member of the group hbaseappltest_ns1admin can not grant a WRX privilege to a group as it is missing global A privilege. 
> {code}
> $hbase shell 
> 15/11/13 10:02:23 INFO Configuration.deprecation: hadoop.native.lib is deprecated. Instead, use io.native.lib.available 
> HBase Shell; enter 'help<RETURN>' for list of supported commands. 
> Type "exit<RETURN>" to leave the HBase Shell 
> Version 1.0.0-cdh5.4.7, rUnknown, Thu Sep 17 02:25:03 PDT 2015 
> hbase(main):001:0> whoami 
> ns1admin@WLAB.NET (auth:KERBEROS) 
> groups: hbaseappltest_ns1admin 
> hbase(main):002:0> grant '@hbaseappltest_ns1funct' ,'RWX','@ns1' 
> ERROR: org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.AccessDeniedException: Insufficient permissions for user 'ns1admin' (global, action=ADMIN) 
> {code}
> The way I read the documentation a NS admin should be able to grant as it has ns level A privilege not only object level permission.
> CDH is a version 5.4.7 and Hbase is version 1.0.
