[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-27493) Allow namespace admins to clone snapshots created by them

["Duo Zhang (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-27493?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17636120#comment-17636120 ] 

Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-27493:
-----------------------------------

I think we'd better start a discussion thread on the dev and user mailing list to grab more feedbacks first before changing the behavior? If we do want to change the behavior, we still need to discuss which branch can be landed, since this is a behavior change.

Thanks.

> Creating a snapshot requires table admin permissions. But cloning it requires global admin permissions unless the user owns the snapshot and wants to recreate the original table the snapshot was based on using the same table name. This puts unnecessary load on the few people having global admin permissions. I would like to relax this rule a bit and allow the owner of the snapshot to clone it into any namespace where they have admin permissions regardless of the table name used.
