Creating a CDL User

Scenario

Cluster administrators create users and assign the users permissions to use the CDL service.

CDL users are classified into administrators and common users. The default CDL user group for administrators and common users is cdladmin and cdl, respectively.

• Users associated with the cdladmin user group can perform any CDL operations.
• Users associated with the cdl user group can perform creation and query operations on CDL.

If Ranger authentication is enabled and you need to configure the creation, execution, query, or deletion permission for CDL users, see Adding a Ranger Access Permission Policy for CDL.

If Ranger authentication is manually disabled for a cluster, enable Ranger authentication by referring to Enabling Ranger Authentication.

This section applies only to clusters with Kerberos authentication enabled.
