ECS 3.6.2 Data Access Guide

Set user bucket ACLs

You can set a user ACL for a bucket in the ECS Portal. ECS assigns permissions automatically to the bucket owner. You can assign user ACLs to other Hadoop users to enable access to the bucket/file system or alternatively they can gain access to the bucket by being a member of group that has been assigned Custom Group ACLs.

1. In the ECS Portal, select Manage > Buckets.
2. On the Bucket Management page, locate the bucket you want to edit in the table and select the Edit ACL action.
3. On the Bucket ACLs Management page, ensure the User ACLs tab is selected; this is the default.
4. On the User ACLs tab, you can edit the permissions for a user that already has assigned permissions, or you can add a user that you want to assign permissions for.
   • To set (or remove) the ACL permissions for a user that already has permissions, select Edit (or Remove) from the Action column in the ACL table.
   • To add a user for whom you want to assign permissions, click Add and type the username of the user that the permissions will apply to. Specify the permissions that you want to apply to the user.
   The user who you have set as the bucket owner already has default permissions assigned.

   The bucket in the following example is owned by the hdfs user and hdfs, as the owner, has been given full control. Full control translates to read, write, and execute permissions in a Hadoop/UNIX environment. The user sally has been give read and execute permissions to access the bucket.

   For more information on ACL privileges, see the ECS Administration Guide which is available from the https://www.dell.com/support/.
