No databases are available. Permissions could be missing

sim6 — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 13:48:56 GMT

I installed and configured sentry for hive. However, I keep getting :

No databases are available.Permissions could be missing in hive editor.

I have createdrole and permission for the user that I used to login into the hue but it does not help at all.

Why is it?What could be the reason ? All I see is server1 and nothing else

I tried using user hue that belongs to default group in hue.

Also, created a user 'hive' and a group 'hive' and assigned it to the group, created a role but yet nothing

If you can't see anything when logging in as the 'hive' user in Hue, it
means your Sentry setup is incorrect. It would recommend to look at the
Sentry and Cloudera Manager forums.
