Setting connection privileges

Connection privileges play a distinct role in the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system in Cloudera Data Visualization. They can be specified uniformly for multiple connections simultaneously or individually tailored for each connection, depending on business requirements.

Follow the below steps to add connection-level privileges to a role, using "Test Role 1" as an example.

  1. Add a new connection privilege by clicking +ADD PRIVILEGE.

    The Add Privilege modal window appears.

  2. From Connection(s), choose either All connections or one of the individual connections.
    In this example, access to the samples connection is selected. You can repeat this step to add more connections to this privilege.
  3. Click CREATE.

    The connection privilege for the samples connection is now listed among the role privileges.

    By default, all possible privileges for a connection component are selected:

    • Manage AVs/Extracts
    • Import data
    • Create datasets, explore tables

    Additional notes:

    1. The privilege type is identifed with the Connection icon.
    2. Manage AVs/Extracts and Import data are independent, and they include the Create datasets, explore tables permission. If you uncheck both of these 'greater' permissions, Create datasets, explore tables becomes mutable and can be unselected. But this removes any connection-level access components.
    3. The privilege can be deleted by clicking the Delete icon.
  4. Click SAVE at the top of the interface to save the latest changes to the role definition.
Proceed to Setting dataset privileges.
