Add the user or group to a pre-defined access policy

When an authenticated user attempts to view, create, edit, or delete a Schema Registry entity, the system checks whether the user has privileges to perform that action. These privileges are determined by the Ranger access policies that a user is associated with.

Determine the permissions required by a user or user group and accordingly add the user or group to the appropriate pre-defined access policy.

Each pre-defined access policy controls access to one or more Schema Registry entities.

  1. From the Cloudera Manager home page, click the Ranger link.

  3. Enter your user name and password to log in.
    The Ranger Service Manager page appears.

    The page is organized by service. Each cluster is listed under its respective service. For example, the Schema Registry clusters in the environment are listed under Schema Registry.

  8. From the Permissions field, select the appropriate permission.
  9. Click Save.
The user now has the rights according to the policy and the permission you assigned to the user. These rights apply to all objects in the entities unless you specified otherwise in the Policy Conditions field.
