2.3.5.7. Configure HBase for Access Control Lists (ACL)

Use the following instructions to configure HBase for ACL:

Login to Kerberos as the HBase user.
```
kinit -kt hbase.headless.keytab hbase
```
Start the HBase shell. On the HBase Master host:
```
hbase shell
```

Set ACLs using the HBase shell:

grant '$USER', '$permissions'

where

$USER is any user responsible for create/update/delete operations in HBase.

	Note
	You must set the ACLs for all those users who will be responsible for create/update/delete operations in HBase.

$permissions is zero or more letters from the set "RWCA": READ('R'), WRITE('W'), CREATE('C'), ADMIN('A').
