Error while compiling statement: FAILED: HiveAccessControlException Permission denied: user [admin] does not have [USE] privilege on [null] [ERROR_STATUS]

[#1]

When I am trying to access my hive databases from Hive View, am getting above error.

Does anyone has any idea about this that why we get such error from hive view ?

I think you have logged in as admin and trying to do operations, Refer Link and create hdfs directory for admin and give appropriately permissions . It will works

1. Connect to a host in the cluster that includes the HDFS client.
2. Switch to the hdfs system account user.

   su - hdfs

3. Using the HDFS client, make an HDFS directory for the user. For example, if your username is admin, you would create the following directory.

   hadoop fs -mkdir /user/admin

4. Set the ownership on the newly created directory. For example, if your username is admin, you would make that user the directory owner.

   hadoop fs -chown admin:hadoop /user/admin

create a hive policy in ranger to allow admin user to access hive

Also verify and ensure that hadoop.proxyuser.hive.users/group are set to * in hdfs-configs [core-site].

Hi @revan wabale ,

to answer your question clearly we need to know what type of authorization you are using for Hive.

Do you have Ranger in place? If not maybe the following link shines some light on authentication in Hiveserver2 link

Hi all,

I have the same problem and when i've done all the steps as previously mentioned above I still get permissions denied. Can someone help me please?

For me the following fixed it. Set the following configs on hive:

webhcat.proxyuser.root.groups *

webhcat.proxyuser.root.hosts *

[#8]

INSERT OVERWRITE DIRECTORY "hdfs://sandbox-hdp.hortonworks.com/tmp/hey2" SELECT * FROM mytable;

(i.e. you need to specify full name of cluster) works fine when you have correct configuration in Ranger, but INSERT OVERWRITE DIRECTORY "/tmp/hey2" SELECT * FROM mytable; will fail. At least this is true for HDP 2.6.3
