Adding Query Processor Administrator users and groups in Cloudera Data Warehouse

The Query Processor 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, Impala-shell, Impyla, and other JDBC/ODBC clients.

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

  1. Log in to the Cloudera Data Warehouse web interface as a DWAdmin.
  2. Click > Edit on the Database Catalog for which you want to add Hue Query Processor 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***]"
    You can also add a list of admin groups as follows:
    "adminGroups": "admin-group, [***GROUP-1***], [***GROUP-2***]"
  5. Click Apply.
    The Hue service will be unavailable for approximately 5 minutes to make the update.
