Create Read-Only Admin User (Auditor)

Creating a read-only admin user (auditor) enables compliance activities because the user can monitor policies and audit events without making changes.

When a user with the role “Auditor” logs in, they will see a read-only view of Ranger policies and audit events. That user can search and filter on access audit events, and access and view all tabs under Audit to understand access events. They cannot edit users or groups, export/import policies, or make changes of any kind.
  1. From the Ranger console, click Settings > Users/Groups.
  2. Click Add New User.
  3. Complete the User Detail section, selecting Auditor as the role:

    Adding an Auditor, Select Role = Auditor
  4. Click Save.
