User Account Setup Overview

You must set up user accounts in the Informatica domain to access the Intelligent Data Lake application and services. The Intelligent Data Lake user accounts must also have access to the Hadoop clusters where the data lake is created.
Intelligent Data Lake uses impersonation to provide users access to the data lake. Set up impersonation for Intelligent Data Lake users based on the data access requirements of your organization
To set up Intelligent Data Lake user accounts, perform the following tasks:
  1. 1. Set up user accounts in the Informatica domain.
  2. 2. Assign Intelligent Data Lake privileges.
  3. 3. Assign connection privileges.
  4. 4. Set up user access to the data lake.
  5. 5. Set up user impersonation.
Intelligent Data Lake uses the Data Integration Service to upload and publish data and perform operations in the data lake. The Data Integration Service uses impersonation to identify the Hadoop user that can access data and perform operations in the data lake. To use impersonation, you must configure the Data Integration Service to use operating system profiles. Follow the guidelines to use operating system profiles in Intelligent Data Lake.
