I am using standalone HBase and so need to remove some property file from hbase-site.xml as per the suggestion provided in -get "ERROR: Can't get master address from ZooKeeper; znode data == null" when using Hbase shell

But when I try to edit the "hbase-site.xml" file, it says only read-level permission. How to resolve this?

By default, hbase-site.xml will allow the write permission to hbase / root users only, all the other users just have the Read permissions. Below is the sample file with the permissions.

-rw-r--r-- 1 hbase hadoop 4832 Apr 20  2016 hbase-site.xml

To modify the file, switch to root or hbase user and modify. You can switch to other users using:

hbase user: sudo su <user> (sudo su hbase) 
root: sudo su

what is your username . Your current user has no authority
you can use 

 whoami

show file ownership & authority use

  ls -l

result like 

-rw-r--r--  1 user  usergroup  size  date  filename

The group is divided into: user, group, other
The files are divided into: reader:r (4), write:w (2), execute:x (1).

you can use sudo or 

chown usename:usergroup filename  
chmod 666 filename
