Creating a Role

Scenario

This section describes how to create a role on Manager and authorize and manage Manager and components.

Up to 1000 roles can be created on Manager.

The operations described in this section apply only to clusters of versions earlier than MRS 3.x.

For clusters of MRS 3.x or later, see Managing Roles.

Prerequisites

• You have learned service requirements.
• You have obtained a cluster with Kerberos authentication enabled or a common cluster with the EIP function enabled.

Procedure

1. Access MRS Manager. For details, see Accessing MRS Manager (MRS 2.x or Earlier).
2. On MRS Manager, choose System > Manage Role.
3. Click Create Role and fill in Role Name and Description.

   

   Role Name is mandatory and contains 3 to 30 characters. Only digits, letters, and underscores (_) are allowed. Description is optional.

4. In Permission, set role permission.
   1. Click Service Name and select a name in View Name.
   2. Select one or more permissions.
   

   • The Permission parameter is optional.
   • If you select View Name to set component permissions, you can enter a resource name in the Search box in the upper right corner and click . The search result is displayed.
   • The search scope covers only directories with current permissions. You cannot search subdirectories. Search by keywords supports fuzzy match and is case-insensitive. Results of the next page can be searched.

   Table 2 HBase permission description

   Resource Supporting Permission Management	Permission Setting
   SUPER_USER_GROUP	Grants you HBase administrator permissions.
   Global	HBase resource type, indicating the whole HBase.
   Namespace	HBase resource type, indicating namespace, which is used to store HBase tables. It has the following permissions: Admin permission to manage the namespace Create: permission to create HBase tables in the namespace Read: permission to access the namespace Write: permission to write data to the namespace Execute: permission to execute the coprocessor (Endpoint)
   Table	HBase resource type, indicating a data table, which is used to store data. It has the following permissions: Admin: permission to manage a data table Create: permission to create column families and columns in a data table Read: permission to read a data table Write: permission to write data to a data table Execute: permission to execute the coprocessor (Endpoint)

   Qualifier	HBase resource type, indicating a column, which is used to store data. It has the following permissions: Read: permission to read a column Write: permission to write data to a column

   By default, permissions of an HBase resource type of each level are shared by resource types of sub-levels. However, the Recursive option is not selected by default. For example, if Read and Write permissions are added to the default namespace, they are automatically added to the tables, column families, and columns in the namespace. If a child resource is set after the parent resource, the permission of the child resource is the union of the permissions of the parent resource and the current child resource.

   Table 3 HDFS permission description

   Resource Supporting Permission Management	Permission Setting
   Folder	HDFS resource type, indicating an HDFS directory, which is used to store files or subdirectories.

   Resource Supporting Permission Management	Permission Setting
   Hive Admin Privilege	Grants you Hive administrator permissions.
   Database	Hive resource type, indicating a Hive database, which is used to store Hive tables.

   By default, permissions of a Hive resource type of each level are shared by resource types of sub-levels. However, the Recursive option is not selected by default. For example, if Select and Insert permissions are added to the default database, they are automatically added to the tables and columns in the database. If a child resource is set after the parent resource, the permission of the child resource is the union of the permissions of the parent resource and the current child resource.

   Table 5 Yarn permission description

   Resource Supporting Permission Management	Permission Setting

Permissions inherited by sub-queues will not be displayed as selected in the Permission table. If a child resource is set after the parent resource, the permission of the child resource is the union of the permissions of the parent resource and the current child resource.
