I want to add a new user account for atlas Web UI, so I append a line text into <atlas-conf>/users-credentials.properties

zte=ADMIN::8d969eef6ecad3c29a3a629280e686cf0c3f5d5a86aff3ca12020c923adc6c92

This means that, the user name is zte, and the password is 123456.

But when I login in the Atlas Web UI by using this user name and password, it shown like this:

The tips which on the top right of this screenshot showed that, this account are not authorized for READ *.

So, how can I set the authority/right of my new user account ?

Thank you very much.

@Ethan HsiehTwo authorization methods are available for Atlas: Simple and Ranger.

Simple Authorization

The default setting is Simple, and the following properties are automatically set under Advanced application-properties on the Advanced tab.

Table: Apache Atlas Simple Authorization

Property	Value
atlas.authorizer.impl	simple
atlas.auth.policy.file	{{conf_dir}}/policy-store.txt

The policy-store.txt file has the following format:

Policy_Name;;User_Name:Operations_Allowed;;Group_Name:Operations_Allowed;;Resource_Type:Resource_Name

For example:

adminPolicy;;admin:rwud;;ROLE_ADMIN:rwud;;type:*,entity:*,operation:*,taxonomy:*,term:*
userReadPolicy;;readUser1:r,readUser2:r;;DATA_SCIENTIST:r;;type:*,entity:*,operation:*,taxonomy:*,term:*
userWritePolicy;;writeUser1:rwu,writeUser2:rwu;;BUSINESS_GROUP:rwu,DATA_STEWARD:rwud;;type:*,entity:*,operation:*,taxonomy:*,term:*

In this example readUser1, readUser2, writeUser1 and writeUser2 are the user IDs, each with its corresponding access rights. The User_Name, Group_Name and Operations_Allowed are comma-separated lists.

Authorizer Resource Types:

Operation
Type
Entity
Taxonomy
Term
Unknown

Operations_Allowed are r = read, w = write, u = update, d = delete

Let me know if you have Ranger enabled in your cluster, different operations would be needed for Ranger authorization.

Hi @Varun Nemmani,

Which usersync did you have to run?

Thanks
