Providing role access

You must have either the EnvironmentAdmin or the EnvironmentUser role access to use Cloudera Data Catalog.

Compared to EnvironmentUsers, EnvironmentAdmins can manage environments and data lakes. For detailed differences between EnvironmentAdmin and EnvironmentUser roles, see Prerequisites to access Cloudera Data Catalog. For more information, see the related documents. The following procedure shows how to assign the EnvironmentAdmin role as a environment resource role. This means that the role will be valid only for a specific environment.
  1. From Cloudera Management Console > Environments > Select an environment > select the Actions drop-down > Manage Access.
  2. Search for the user who requires Cloudera Data Catalog access > Select the check-box, either EnvironmentAdmin or EnvironmentUser > Click Update Roles.
  3. Navigate back to the Clusters page and select Actions > select Synchronize Users
    Allow the sync operation to complete and the changes to take effect.
