Managing Roles

Scenario

FusionInsight Manager supports a maximum of 5000 roles (including system built-in roles but excluding roles automatically created by tenants). Based on different service requirements, you need to create and manage different roles on FusionInsight Manager and perform authorization management for FusionInsight Manager and components using roles.

Prerequisites

• You have learned service requirements.
• You have logged in to FusionInsight Manager.

Creating a Role

1. Choose System > Permission > Role.
2. On the displayed page, click Create Role and specify Role Name and Description.

   The role name consists of 3 to 50 characters, including digits, letters, and underscores (_). It cannot be the same as an existing role name in the system. The role name cannot start with Manager, System, or default. For example, the role name cannot be Manager_test.

3. In the Configure Resource Permission area, click the cluster whose permissions are to be added and select service permissions for the role.

   When setting permissions for a component, enter a resource name in the search text box in the upper right corner and click the search icon to view the search result.

   The search result contains only directories, but not subdirectories. Search by keyword supports fuzzy match and is case-insensitive.

   

   • For components (except HDFS and Yarn) for which Ranger authorization has been enabled, the permissions of non-default roles on Manager do not take effect. You need to configure Ranger policies to assign permissions to user groups.
   • If the resource requests of HDFS and Yarn are beyond the Ranger policies, the ACL rules of the components still take effect.
   • A maximum of 1000 permissions can be set for a component at a time.

4. Click OK.

Modifying Role Information

Locate the row that contains the target role and click Modify.

Exporting Role Information

Click Export All to export all role information at a time in TXT or CSV format.

The role information contains the following fields: role name, description, creation time, user, and user group.

Deleting a Role

Locate the row that contains the target role and click Delete. To delete multiple roles in batches, select the target roles and click Delete above the role list. A role bound to a user cannot be deleted. To delete such a role, disassociate the role from the user by modifying the user first.
