Admin ACLs

Use the YARN Admin ACLs to allow users to run YARN administrator sub-commands, which are executed via the yarn rmadmin <command>.

The default YARN Admin ACL is set to the wildcard character (*), meaning all users and groups have YARN Administrator access and privileges. So after YARN ACL enforcement is enabled, (via the yarn.acl.enable property) every user has YARN ACL Administrator access. Unless you wish for all users to have YARN Admin ACL access, edit the yarn.admin.acl setting upon initial YARN configuration, and before enabling YARN ACLs.

A typical YARN Admin ACL looks like the following, where the system's Hadoop administrator and multiple groups are granted access:
hadoopadmin<space>yarnadmgroup,hadoopadmgroup
