Fine-grained permission to access Cloudera Replication Manager

You can restrict access to specific users to view and use Cloudera Replication Manager in a Cloudera Public Cloud environment so that you can govern the access to critical replication functionalities.

Currently, any user in a Cloudera Public Cloud environment can view and use Cloudera Replication Manager to create, run, and manage replication policies. However, in some deployments, it is essential that only a few authorized users have access to Replication Manager. This requirement arises when you want to provide an added layer of control which aligns with the best practices for data management and security, and also to enhance security and control over replication management which includes monitoring the replication jobs, and troubleshooting issues efficiently.

Providing role-based access control (RBAC) to Replication Manager users

You can provide fine-grained permissions to specific users to view and use Cloudera Replication Manager

Enable the RBAC entitlement. Contact your Cloudera account team to accomplish this task.
Identify the users that require access to Cloudera Replication Manager.
Go to the Cloudera Management Console > User Management page. You can manage the role assignments on this page.

important
Administrators with the PowerUser role can add, modify, or delete users and groups in the Cloudera Public Cloud environment.
Assign the ReplicationAdmin role to one or more users, and Save the changes.

note
You must have the ReplicationAdmin or PowerUser role to use Replication Manager if the entitlement is enabled.
Optionally, create a group to manage the Replication Manager users and their roles. For example, replicationusers.
