Just did the following in my env -

Installed Ranger, enabled Hive plugin, created a table student with a single column name, created a user "test" and created a /user/test directory in HDFS, created a rule in Ranger to only allow read access (select) to the table student for user test.

And here are my commands:

It seems to be working as expected. In Audit / Plugins, can you check that the policies have been correctly synced with Hive?

Hi @Jacqualin jasmin,

Why are you saying the policy does not work?

Please keep in mind, that Ranger policies on Hive are only applied if you access Hive through the Hive server (JDBC/ODBC connections, Beeline CLI, etc). If you are using the Hive CLI, then only the Ranger policies on HDFS are applied.

Could you share a screenshot or logs showing which user is launching beeline, what is the request you execute and what is the result of the command? Also is the Hive plugin for Ranger enabled in Ambari?

Hi Pierre,

Could able to find the issue with

1) from beeline , if we connect just with < !connect jdbc:hive2:// > it just prompts for user name / password. Now policy is not working

2) if we connect with complete string like : !connect jdbc:hive2://<hiveserver2>:10000/default test2 test2 , now the policy is enforced
