Adding a Ranger Access Permission Policy for Yarn¶
Scenario¶
The Ranger administrator can use Ranger to configure Yarn administrator permissions for Yarn users, allowing them to manage Yarn queue resources.
Prerequisites¶
The Ranger service has been installed and is running properly.
You have created users, user groups, or roles for which you want to configure permissions.
Procedure¶
Log in to the Ranger management page.
On the home page, click the component plug-in name in the YARN area, for example, Yarn.
Click Add New Policy to add a Yarn permission control policy.
Configure the parameters listed in the table below based on the service demands.
Table 1 Yarn permission parameters¶ Parameter
Description
Policy Name
Policy name, which can be customized and must be unique in the service.
Policy Conditions
IP address filtering policy, which can be customized. You can enter one or more IP addresses or IP address segments. The IP address can contain the wildcard character (
*), for example, 192.168.1.10,192.168.1.20, or 192.168.1.*.Policy Label
A label specified for the current policy. You can search for reports and filter policies based on labels.
Queue
Queue name. The wildcard (
*) is supported.To enable a sub-queue to inherit the permission of its upper-level queue, enable the recursion function.
Non-recursive: recursion disabled
Recursive: recursion enabled
Description
Policy description.
Audit Logging
Whether to audit the policy.
Allow Conditions
Policy allowed condition. You can configure permissions and exceptions allowed by the policy.
In the Select Role, Select Group, and Select User columns, select the role, user group, or user to which the permission is to be granted, click Add Conditions, add the IP address range to which the policy applies, and click Add Permissions to add the corresponding permission.

. To delete a permission control rule, click 
.Exclude from Allow Conditions: policy exception conditions
Deny All Other Accesses
Whether to reject all other access requests.
True: All other access requests are rejected.

Deny Conditions
Policy rejection condition, which is used to configure the permissions and exceptions to be denied in the policy. The configuration method is similar to that of Allow Conditions. The priority of Deny Conditions is higher than that of allowed conditions configured in Allow Conditions.
Exclude from Deny Conditions: exception rules excluded from the denied conditions

Note
The permissions on Ranger Yarn are independent of each other. There is inclusion relationship among the permissions. Currently, the following permissions are supported:
submit-app: permission to submit queue tasks
admin-queue: permission to manage queue tasks
Although the admin-queue has the permission to submit tasks, it does not have the inclusion relationship with the submit-app permission.
