What would the audit record on Zeppelin users actions when using Hive?

[#1]

Assume using Zeppelin to execute Hive queries. See:  https://docs.hortonworks.com/HDPDocuments/HDP2/HDP-2.6.1/bk_zeppelin-component-guide/content/config-hive-access.html

Would the auditing capture the actions as the actual Zeppelin user or as the single hive user defined for the Zeppelin connection that is shared among many Zeppelin users?

Zeppelin in HDP 2.6 supports user impersonation. When properly configured, the audit logs should capture the actual end-user submitting the hive queries.

Thanks. Setting doAs=true should do the trick.
