Cloudera account administrator

During the initial setup of the Cloudera subscription for a customer, Cloudera designates a user account as a Cloudera account administrator.

A Cloudera account administrator has administrator privileges in Cloudera. The Cloudera account administrator user account cannot be managed within Cloudera. You must contact Cloudera support to add or remove an account administrator from your Cloudera account.

As an account administrator, you have all the privileges in Cloudera and can perform any task in Cloudera. You can set up users and assign roles, services, and environments to users in Cloudera according to the tasks that they need to perform. You can set up another user as a Cloudera administrator by assigning the PowerUser role to the user. However, you cannot set up another user as a Cloudera account administrator.

A Cloudera account administrator requires a Cloudera user account. To be designated as a Cloudera account administrator, you must register for a Cloudera user account. To register for a Cloudera user account, go to the Cloudera Account Registration page and create an account.
