hadoop user file permissions
I believe you set the wrong property to enable permissions. You need to set the following property in hdfs-site:
dfs.permissions.enabled = true
This is a good resource for HDFS permissions

i have a problem in setting hadoop file permissions in hortonworks and cloudera.
My requirement is:
1. create a new user with new group 2. create user directory in hdfs ( ex. /user/myuser ) 3. Now this folder ( in this case /user/myuser ) must be accessible to only user and its group but not other users and other groups.
Following commands are used by me. ( in centos 6)
1.create group >>>
groupadd mygroup
2. create new user who belongs to new group >>>>useradd -g mygroup myuser
3. create user directory in hdfs >>>hadoop fs -mkdir /user/myuser
4. changing ownership of the folder >>>hadoop fs -chown -R myuser:mygroup /user/myuser
5. giving permissions to user folder >>>hadoop fs -chmod -R 700 /user/myuser
6. i also changed the /tmp file permission to sticky bit. >>>hadoop fs -chmod -R 1777 /tmp
Here the problem comes, even setting this permissions the other users in other groups are accessing my data. please tell me the solution for this. I turned on hdfs file permissions by setting ( dfs.permission.enabled=true ).
