Managing Flink Job Permissions

Scenario

• You can isolate Flink jobs allocated to different users by setting permissions to ensure data query performance.
• The administrator and job creator have all permissions, which cannot be set or modified by other users.
• When setting job permissions for a new user, ensure that the region of the user group to which the user belongs has the Tenant Guest permission.

2. Select the job to be configured and choose More > Permissions in the Operation column. The User Permissions area displays the list of users who have permissions on the job.

   

   You can assign queue permissions to new users, modify permissions for users who have some permissions of a queue, and revoke all permissions of a user on a queue.

   • To assign or revoke permissions of a user who has some permissions on the job, perform the following steps:
     1. In the list under User Permissions for a job, select the user whose permissions need to be modified and click Set Permission in the Operation column.
     2. In the displayed Set Permission dialog box, modify the permissions of the current user. Table 1 lists the detailed permission descriptions.

        If all options under Set Permission are gray, you are not allowed to change permissions on this job. You can apply to the administrator, job creator, or other authorized users for job permission granting and revoking.

     3. Click OK.
   • To revoke all permissions of a user on a job, perform the following steps:

     In the list under User Permissions for a job, locate the user whose permissions need to be revoked, click Revoke Permission in the Operation column, and click Yes. After this operation, the user does not have any permission on the job.

Flink Job Permissions

• View Job Details
  • Tenants and the admin user can view and operate all jobs.
  • Subusers and users with the read-only permission can only view their own jobs.
    

    If another user grants any permission other than the job viewing permission to a subuser, the job is displayed in the job list, but the details cannot be viewed by the subuser.

• Start Job

  You must have the permission to submit and start jobs.

• Stop Job

  You must have the permission to stop queues and jobs.

• Delete Job
  • If a job can be deleted, you can delete the job if you were granted this permission.
  • If a job cannot be deleted, the system stops the job before you delete it. For details about how to stop a job, see Stop Job. In addition, you must have the permission to delete the job.
• Create Job
  • By default, sub-users cannot create jobs.
  • To create a job, you must have this permission. Currently, only the admin user has the permission to create jobs. In addition, the user must have the permission of the related package group or package used by the job.
• Modify Job

  When modifying a job, you need to have the permission to update the job and the permission to the package group or package used by the job belongs.
