cant create HBASE table

[#1]

since I have installed Ranger I cant create a table in HBASE using the following command, see the error below also.

even though HBASE ranger plugin is not enabled . I have the Kerberos ticket

@Sami Ahmad

user "sami@abc.com" does not have permissions to create table in HBase. you need to set these permissions for this user in Ranger.

[#3]

but ranger plugin for HBASE is not enabled , why Ranger permissions to be set then ?

and the HBASE security tab in Ranger is disabled for this reason . its not letting me set any privileges .

[#4]

I tried to add privileges from HBASE its not letting me .

Here is some help for this command:
Grant users specific rights.
Syntax : grant <user> <permissions> [<@namespace> [<table> [<column family> [<column qualifier>]]]
permissions is either zero or more letters from the set "RWXCA".
READ('R'), WRITE('W'), EXEC('X'), CREATE('C'), ADMIN('A')
Note: Groups and users are granted access in the same way, but groups are prefixed with an '@'
      character. In the same way, tables and namespaces are specified, but namespaces are
      prefixed with an '@' character.
For example:

[#5 · Accepted solution]

Since you have enabled kerberos, you need to grant permissions in HBase. Use hbase shell with grant command for that.

[#6]

can you please give me an example on how ?

also whats the role of HBASE ranger plugin if without it being enabled we still need to grant privileges?

[#7]

you need to use the same command

grant 'sami', 'RWXCA'

but you need to run hbase shell with hbase kerberos ticket. Ranger is centralized platform to manage security on your cluster at one place.

[#8]

If you are not using ranger hbase policies to grant permission then you will have to use hbase shell to grant the permission. Forexample,

• R - represents read privilege.
• W - represents write privilege.
• X - represents execute privilege.
• C - represents create privilege.
• A - represents admin privilege.

 hbase(main):018:0> grant 'sami','RWXCA','default'

this did the trick ..

I did as you did, but there were mistakes.

What am I supposed to do
