Redis ACL All Permissions Ubuntu | How to Configure

ACL, short for Access Control List, is a feature offered by Redis. It allows us to control user access and permissions for different operations within the Redis server.

ACL offers more control over user access to Redis operations. With ACL, we can define users, assign passwords, and grant or deny permissions for different commands and keys in Redis.

In Redis, the “all” permission grants full access to all commands and keys in the Redis server. When we grant this permission to a user, they can execute any Redis command and access any key without any restrictions.

When working with Redis ACL and permissions in Ubuntu, we can interact with Redis via the Redis CLI or through a Redis client library in our preferred programming language.

How to configure Redis ACL All Permissions in Ubuntu

We can easily configure Redis ACL and grant the “all” permission as seen below:

• First, we have to connect to our Ubuntu server where Redis is installed either via SSH or by accessing the terminal directly.
• Then, open the Redis configuration file and locate the line that starts with # aclfile.
• We have to remove the # at the beginning of the line to uncomment it and enable ACL.
• Finally, save the file and exit the editor.
• When we restart the Redis service, the new configuration will be applied.
• Then, connect to the Redis server using the Redis CLI witht his command:

  redis-cli
• Then, run the following command to grant the “all” permission to a user.

  ACL SETUSER username on > all

We can verify if the above steps were successful by running this command to view the user’s ACL rules:

ACL GETUSER username
