Schema Registry Authorization through Ranger Access Policies

User and group access to various Schema Registry functions is controlled through Apache Ranger.

Pre-defined access policies for Schema Registry allow the administrator to quickly add a user or user group to specify:
  • Who can add/evolve schemas to a schema metadata.
  • Who can view and edit schemas within a schema metadata.
  • Who can upload the ser/des jar files.

If a higher level of granularity is necessary, the administrator can create an access policy and add the user or user-group to this custom policy.
