Deleting an MRS Cluster User

Based on service requirements, you can delete system users that are no longer used on Manager.

  • After a user is deleted, their provisioned TGT remains valid for up to 24 hours and can still be used for security authentication and system access.
  • If a new user is created with the same name as a deleted user, the new user inherits all owner permissions of the deleted user. You may decide whether to delete the resources owned by a deleted user, such as HDFS files, based on service requirements.
  • The default user admin cannot be deleted.

  5. Click OK.

    If you want to create a new user with the same name as user A after deleting user A who has submitted a job on the client or MRS console, you need to delete user A's residual folders when deleting user A. Otherwise, the newly created user A may fail to submit a job.

    To delete residual folders, log in to each Core node in the MRS cluster and run the following commands. In the following commands, $user indicates the folder named after the username.

    cd /srv/BigData/hadoop/data1/nm/localdir/usercache/

    rm -rf $user
