By editing the bash setup / configure scripts. What privileges are you
missing?

Sounds like an easy fix. Have you tried:

$ ./bin/whirr list-cluster --config ...

This is work in progress for 0.8.0:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-421

Start/Stop/Cleanup are not yet implemented for Hadoop & HBase. See:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-266

Yes, you can use the BYON provider. The tricky part is cleaning up the
nodes
when the cluster is destroyed - this is also part of WHIRR-266.

You will need two files similar to:
https://github.com/apache/whirr/blob/trunk/recipes/nodes-byon.yaml
https://github.com/apache/whirr/blob/trunk/recipes/zookeeper-byon.properties
