Ranger blocks ambari-qa user from Hbase smoke test

hfaouaz — Fri, 13 Nov 2015 02:52:57 GMT

The hbase smoke test is ran from Service Check in ambari and obviously Hbase Ranger policy doesn't know anything about ambari-qa user? Can we change that? or add ambari-qa user to the policy?

Policy created by ranger hbase plugin (when it was enabled) should have granted permission for ambari-qa user. Please check if this policy got deleted. And yes, you can add the user to policy.

The policy is there but I don't see ambari-qa in the list of external users.

@Neeraj Sabharwal Yes, I had to create a local ambari-qa user to have the Hbase check status to work.
