Creating a group

You can create Cloudera groups based on the tasks performed by Cloudera users in your organization.

Before you begin: To create a Cloudera group and to manage the users, roles, and resources in the group, you must have the PowerUser role.

Steps

Cloudera Management Console

Sign in to the Cloudera console.
From the Cloudera home page, click Cloudera Management Console.
In the User Management section of the side navigation panel, click Groups.The Groups page displays the list of all Cloudera groups.
Click Create Group.
On the Create Group window, enter the name of the group to create.
note
You must consider the following when naming a group:
- The group name must be unique and not contain any of the reserved group names.
- The group name can be up to 64 characters and can include only alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). The first character in the name must be an alphabetic character or underscore.
- The group name is not case sensitive. For example, the group name AAa is equivalent to the group name aaa.
- Depending on your IdP setup in Cloudera, you may be able to manipulate the Sync Membership option. To learn more about this option, refer to Synchronizing group membership.
Click Create. Cloudera creates the group and adds it to the list of groups on the particular page.

CLI

You can use the following command to create a group:

cdp iam create-group \
