Summary: DOCS: configuring-user-authentication page should
reference configuring-web-ui-and-rest-api-security
Key: DRILL-3984
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3984
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 1.2.0
Environment: N/a
Reporter: Andy Pernsteiner
Priority: Trivial
1.2 seems to have some new capabilities, namely the ability to restrict
administrative (alter system, etc) functions to specific users/groups, as well
as to restrict the UI/REST interface .
In the page http://drill.apache.org/docs/configuring-user-authentication/ ,
there is the following section:
<snip>
Administrator Privileges
When authentication is enabled, only Drill users who are assigned Drill cluster
administrator privileges can perform the following tasks:
Change a system-level option by issuing an ALTER SYSTEM command
Update a storage plugin configuration through the REST API or Web Console
View profiles of all queries that all users have run or are currently running
in a cluster
Cancel running queries that were launched by any user in the cluster
</snip>
The issue is that there is no further explanation on how to:
1) set the appropriate system variables to assign users/groups to have admin
privileges
2) secure the UI (along w/ pre-req's/etc)
Simple fix is to refer people to the appropriate page within the 'administrator
privileges' section
