IoTDB Permissions

MRS supports users, user groups, and roles. Permissions must be assigned to roles and then roles are bound to users or user groups. Users can obtain permissions only by binding a role or joining a group that is bound with a role.

In security mode, you need to manage IoTDB permissions and add the created user to the iotdbgroup user group. In normal mode, IoTDB permission management is not required.

IoTDB Permission List

The Name column in Table 1 lists the permissions supported by open-source IoTDB. If an MRS user needs to use corresponding permissions to perform operations, grant the permissions to the user on Manager by referring to the Required Permission column in Table 1. For details, see Creating an IoTDB Role.

**Table 1** IoTDB permissions
Name	Description	Required Permission	Example
CREATE_DATABASE	Used for creating a database, including setting permissions for the database and setting or canceling its time to live (TTL).	Create databases	Eg1: create database root.ln; Example 2: set ttl to root.ln 3600000; Example 3: unset ttl to root.ln;
CREATE_TIMESERIES	Used for creating a time series.	Create	Example 1: Creating a time series create timeseries root.ln.wf02.status with datatype=BOOLEAN,encoding=PLAIN; Example 2: Creating an aligned time series create aligned timeseries root.ln.device1(latitude FLOAT encoding=PLAIN compressor=SNAPPY, longitude FLOAT encoding=PLAIN compressor=SNAPPY);
INSERT_TIMESERIES	Used for inserting data.	Write	Example 1: insert into root.ln.wf02(timestamp,status) values(1,true); Example 2: insert into root.sg1.d1(time, s1, s2) aligned values(1, 1, 1);
ALTER_TIMESERIES	Used for modifying a time series, and adding attributes and tags.	Alter	Example 1: alter timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 ADD TAGS tag3=v3, tag4=v4; Example 2: ALTER timeseries root.turbine.d1.s1 UPSERT ALIAS=newAlias TAGS(tag2=newV2, tag3=v3) ATTRIBUTES(attr3=v3, attr4=v4);
READ_TIMESERIES	Used for querying data.	Read	Example 1: show storage group; Example 2: show child paths root.ln, show child nodes root.ln; Example 3: show devices; Example 4: show timeseries root.*; Example 5: show all ttl; Example 6: Querying data select from root.ln.*; Example 7: Querying performance tracing tracing select from root.*; Example 8: Querying the UDF select example() from root.sg.d1; Example 9: Querying statistics count devices;
DELETE_TIMESERIES	Used for deleting data or time series.	Delete	Example 1: Deleting a time series delete timeseries root.ln.wf01.wt01.status; Example 2: Deleting data delete from root.ln.wf02.wt02.status where time < 10;
DELETE_DATABASE	Used for deleting databases.	IoTDB Admin Privilege	Eg: delete database root.ln;
CREATE_FUNCTION	Used for registering a UDF.	IoTDB Admin Privilege	Example: create function example AS 'org.apache.iotdb.udf.UDTFExample';
DROP_FUNCTION	Used for dropping a UDF.	IoTDB Admin Privilege	Example: drop function example;
UPDATE_TEMPLATE	Used for creating, deleting, and modifying metadata templates.	IoTDB Admin Privilege	Example 1: create schema template t1(s1 int32);
READ_TEMPLATE	Used for viewing all metadata templates and metadata template content.	IoTDB Admin Privilege	Example 1: show schema templates; Example 2: show nodes in template t1;
APPLY_TEMPLATE	Used for attaching, detaching, and activating a metadata template.	IoTDB Admin Privilege	Example 1: set schema template t1 to root.sg.d; Example 2: create timeseries of schema template on root.sg.d;
READ_TEMPLATE_APPLICATION	Used for viewing the path for attaching or activating the metadata template.	IoTDB Admin Privilege	Example 1: show paths set schema template t1; Example 2: show paths using schema template t1;
FLUSH_DATA	Used for running the flush command to write the memory data to the disk.	IoTDB administrator privilege	Example: flush
