Hi Yixiao, Yes, the use case mentioned will be possible with Ambari Views. Ambari Views is a framework that allows UIs to be developed in a pluggable manner. Such UI plugins are called "Views" and they can be embedded in Ambari Web UI and made accessible to specific users/group members. One use case of Ambari Views is to have Ambari Server run in "stand-alone mode", where the user need not have deployed any cluster via Ambari itself, but still allow users to access Views by logging in to Ambari (via local user store or LDAP). A job monitoring View can be configured to show job monitoring UI based on pointers to existing clusters that were not necessarily deployed via Ambari. For an overview, please see [1] and [2]
