Role privileges

Privileges are sets of permissions of a particular type and the associated components on which the permissions are granted. Administrators can define role privileges at various levels within Cloudera Data Visualization. This allows precise control over system access for different roles.

Privileges for a role may be defined on one of the following levels:
  • System privileges
  • Role privileges
  • Connection privileges
  • Dataset privileges

The Role Detail interface shows a table matrix of privilege components and specific permissions granted to a role for each component. Each row shows one privilege, including the following information:

  1. Set of components
    Specifies individual connection names or dataset names.
  2. Type of privilege component
    Indicated by icons for system, role, connection, or dataset.
  3. Whole or partial grant
    Displays a check mark if all privileges for the specified component type are granted.
  4. Permissions
    Lists enabled permissions on specified components, including:
  5. Available actions
    Provides Edit and Delete actions for each component.
