Enabling admin and user access to environments

In order to grant admin and user access to an environment that you registered in Cloudera, you should assign the required roles.

You need to be an EnvironmentCreator in order to register an environment. Once an environment is running, the following roles can be assigned:

• EnvironmentAdmin - Grants all rights to the environment and Cloudera Data Hub clusters running in it, except the ability to delete the environment. The user who registers the environment automatically becomes its EnvironmentAdmin.
• EnvironmentUser - Grants permission to view Cloudera Data Hub clusters and set the workload password for the environment. This role should be used in conjunction with service-specific roles such as DataHubAdmin, DWAdmin, DWUser, MLAdmin, MLUser, and so on. When assigning one of these service-specific roles to users, make sure to also assign the EnvironmentUser role.
• DataSteward - Grants permission to perform user/group management functions in Ranger and Atlas Admin, manage ID Broker mappings, and start user sync for the environment.
• Owner - Grants the ability to mange the environment in Cloudera, including deleting the environment. The user who registers the environment automatically becomes its Owner. The Owner role does not grant access the environment's clusters (Data Lakes, Cloudera Data Hub clusters).

The roles are described in detail in Resource roles. The steps for assigning the roles are described in Assigning resource roles to users and Assigning resource roles to groups.
