Setting connection privileges

Connection privileges are integral components of the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system in Cloudera Data Visualization. These privileges can be configured uniformly across multiple connections or customized for each connection, based on specific business requirements.

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

  1. On the main navigation bar, click the (gear) icon.
  2. In the drop-down menu, click Manage Roles.
  3. In the Manage Roles interface, find the role you wish to edit and click the (edit) icon next to the respective role.

    The Role Detail interface is displayed.

  4. Switch to the Connections category on the Privilege tab.
  5. Add a new connection by clicking ADD CONNECTIONS.

    The Add Data connection Privilege modal window appears.

  6. From the Connection(s) drop-down menu, select either All connections or one of the individual connections.

    When the connection is added, by default, all possible privileges are marked for it.

    You can repeat this step to include additional connections if necessary.

    You can remove a connection from the list by clicking the Delete icon.

  7. Select the checkboxes for the actions that you want to permit for the connection(s) you have added.
    • Manage AVs/Extracts
    • Import data
    • Create datasets, explore tables
  8. After adding roles and selecting the appropriate role privileges, click APPLY CHANGES.
Proceed to Setting dataset privileges.
