acl

Describes the acl commands used to access control lists (ACLs).

Specifying Permissions

Specify permissions for a user or group with a string that lists the permissions for that user or group. To specify permissions for multiple users or groups, use a string for each, separated by spaces. The format is as follows:

Users -

<user>:<action>[,<action>...][<user>:<action>[,<action...]]

Groups -

<group>:<action>[,<action>...][<group>:<action>[,<action...]]

NOTE: In order to use the acl edit command, you must have full control (fc) permission on the cluster or volume for which you are running the command.

The following tables list the permission codes used by the acl commands.

Cluster Permission Codes

Permission Code	Allowed Action
login	Log in to the MapR Control System, use the API and command-line interface, read access on cluster and volumes
ss	Start/stop services
cv	Create volumes
a	Administrative access to cluster ACLs. Grants no other permissions.
fc	Full control over the cluster. This enables all cluster-related administrative options with the exception of changing the cluster ACLs.

Volume Permission Codes

Code	Allowed Action
dump	Dump the volume
restore	Mirror or restore the volume
m	Modify volume properties, create and delete snapshots
d	Delete a volume
fc	Full control (admin access and permission to change volume ACL)
