Ambari view access and control

avatar
Expert Contributor
Need to know how can I enforce restriction on Ambari view and stuff. Below is what is happening:

a.) I create an user account in Ambari
b.) Created File and Hive views in Ambari
c.) Assign permission only to this user account to the above created views
d.) created an account via HDFS ( command below)

What I noticed is account created this way can view everyone else's directory via Ambari file browser view. what I want is all he should be seeing is his user folder and access to upload data and create view. 
How can I enforce this restriction.

[hdfs@hdp-m ~]$ hadoop fs -mkdir /user/guest1
[hdfs@hdp-m ~]$ hadoop fs -chown admin:hadoop /user/guest1

Next step is to install ranger

You can manage hdfs and hive access from there
