CM External User privileges from LDAP do not match Users display

alicericketts — Fri, 16 Sep 2022 09:09:47 GMT

I have configured Cloudera Manager 5.0.0 to use OpenLDAP for authentication. I have set it up so members of the LDAP administrators group have administrator privileges, and that seems to work. What bothers me is that the Users screen account lists the external account as read-only, although it obviously has administrator privileges, since I can get to the Users screen.

Any explanations would be welcome.

Hi,

Cloudera is aware of the issue and engineering is reviewing what we might do to address the problem.

For now, there really isn't any way to tell the Role inside CM so you might need to do some scripting or manual checking.

Regards,

Ben
