Post-migration tasks with inbuilt CDSW migration tool - users, groups, and roles

After migrating Cloudera Data Science Workbench (CDSW) 1.10.0 or higher versions to Cloudera AI, you must perform several tasks before moving users to Cloudera AI.

This task is about assigning the user, group and the roles in the on premises control plane.

The CDSW to Cloudera AI migration in Cloudera Manager updates the docker registry, engines, and model builds. You can assign roles to users and groups, import Grafana dashboards you previously exported, configure endpoints and DNS resolution, and configure LDAP or SAML.
  1. In Cloudera Management Console, click User Management, and select Users.
  2. Upload users by selecting the Upload Users action from the Actions drop-down list .
  3. Select Groups, click the Create Groups button, and create user groups.
  4. Start the Cloudera AI Workbench on the Cloudera AI cluster, and check workloads.
    Start new sessions, jobs, models, and applications. Try starting existing workloads that were migrated from CDSW.
  5. Import the Grafana dashboards you exported earlier.
  6. Configure cluster endpoint connectivity per the information about required connections you had in your CDSW cluster.
  7. If you customized your DNS configuration on CDSW, manually configure your DNS in your on premises cluster.
    If you did not customize your DNS configuration, the migration tool sets up the default DNS configuration in your on premises cluster.
  8. Configure LDAP or SAML on Cloudera AI, and grant user access on Cloudera AI .
    Cloudera AI on premises supports LDAP or SAML.
  9. Decommission the CDSW cluster, and give users access to Cloudera AI.
