Setting dataset privileges

Dataset privileges are integral components of the Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system in Cloudera Data Visualization. These privileges enable fine-grained control over access to datasets, catering to specific business needs. They can be applied uniformly across multiple datasets or customized individually for each dataset.

Follow these steps to add dataset-level privileges to a role using "Test Role 1" as an example.

On the main navigation bar, click the (gear) icon.
In the drop-down menu, click Manage Roles.
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.
Switch to the Datasets category on the Privilege tab.
Add a new dataset privilege by clicking ADD DATASETS.

The Add Dataset Privilege modal window appears.
From the Connection(s) drop-down menu, select either All connections or one of the individual connections.
From the Datasets(s) drop-down menu, select either All datasets or specific datasets.

When the dataset 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.
Select the checkboxes for the actions that you want to permit for the connection(s) you have added.
- Manage dataset
- Manage dashboards
- View dashboards
note

Privilege dependency information:

The Manage dashboards and View dashboards permissions are mandatory if the privilege includes the Manage dataset permission and cannot be removed. The checkboxes for these permissions are pre-filled and fixed.

If Manage dataset is deselected, Manage dashboards becomes optional and can also be deselected. If Manage dashboards is deselected, View dashboards becomes optional and can also be deselected.
After adding roles and selecting the appropriate role privileges, click APPLY CHANGES.
