Adding Query Processor Administrator users in Cloudera Data Warehouse

The Query Store Administrators have special privileges that enable them to view and monitor queries from all users, including the ones that were submitted from query interfaces, such as Beeline, Hive Warehouse Connector (HWC), Tableau, and so on.

Make sure that the Virtual Warehouse to which you want to add the Hue Query Store Administrators users is in the stopped state.

  1. Log in to the Cloudera Data Warehouse (CDW) web interface as a DWAdmin.
  2. Click > Edit on the Database Catalog for which you want to add Hue Query Store Administrators users.
  3. On the Database Catalog details page, click CONFIGURATIONS > Hue query processor and select hue-query-processor.json from the Configuration files drop-down menu, as shown in the following image:

  4. In the “authConfig” section, add the list of users to the “adminUsers” key.
    For example: "adminUsers": "hive, [***USER-1***], [***USER-2***]"
  5. Click Apply.
    The Hue service will be unavailable for approximately 5 minutes to make the update.
