To extract metadata and to configure other capabilities that a catalog source might include, you need account access and permissions on the source system. The permissions required might vary depending on the capability.
Permissions for metadata extraction
To extract Hadoop Distributed File System metadata, you need account access and permissions to the Hadoop Distributed File System source system.
Verify that the Hadoop Distributed File System administrator performs the following tasks:
•Creates a user account to access the source system.
•Grants the user read permissions to the directory from which you want to extract metadata.
Verify that the user of the Cloudera CDP, Amazon EMR, Azure HDInsight, or Google Dataproc cluster has read permissions on the source.
