Add Local User in HUE

[#1]

How can we add Local Users in Hue when HUE is integrated with AD? Attempting to add a user using add/sync LDAP user returns an error stating no user found in LDAP.

We have some users who are not on AD we would them to be added to HUE as Local Users. Have searched but could not get any information on this

CM 7.6.1

Cloudera Runtime - 7.1.7

Appreciate any input on this.

Thanks

Hi @Amn_468  Try with below commands to create local superuser accounts. Once created you can change user access level in Hue.

# cd /opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH/lib/hue
# ./build/env/bin/hue --cm-managed createsuperuser

This doesn't work in CDP 7.1.7. When using the previous command it will throw the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./build/env/bin/hue", line 14, in <module>
    load_entry_point('desktop', 'console_scripts', 'hue')()
  File "/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-7.1.7-1.cdh7.1.7.p2046.46875634/lib/hue/desktop/core/src/desktop/manage_entry.py", line 160, in

Hi, just for completeness in case anyone has the same problem and gets here.
I was using the command in the response from @Scharan but the error was because I was using the wrong version of Python 3.6, but this requires Python 3.8 or above.
After upgrading to Py3.8, the comand worked as expected, only with a couple of warnings as shown bellow:

# ./build/env/bin/hue --cm-managed createsuperuser
/opt/cloudera/parcels/CDH-7.1.9-1.cdh7.1.9.p6.51045883/lib/hue/build/env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/oauth2/grant.py:320: SyntaxWarning: "is" with a literal. Did you mean "=="?
if isinstance(value, tuple) and len(value) is 2:
Username (leave blank to use 'root'): prueba_permisos
Email address: prueba_permisos@test.org
Password:
Password (again):
Superuser created successfully.

@lv_antel what is the complete command you are using? can you please share the complete stack trace?

Y was using copy-paste of the comand in @Scharan 's response. But the problem was this needs Python 3.8 or above and I was using Py3.6. After upgrading Py3 the comand worked perfectly.
