| <h2><a name="Apache_Ranger.26.238482.3B"></a>Apache Ranger™</h2> |
| <p>Apache Ranger™ is a framework to enable, monitor and manage comprehensive data security across the Hadoop platform.</p> |
| <p>The vision with Ranger is to provide comprehensive security across the Apache Hadoop ecosystem. With the advent of Apache YARN, the Hadoop platform can now support a true data lake architecture. Enterprises can potentially run multiple workloads, in a multi tenant environment. Data security within Hadoop needs to evolve to support multiple use cases for data access, while also providing a framework for central administration of security policies and monitoring of user access.</p> |
| <p>Please read the <a href="./faq.html">FAQs</a> if you need to understand how it works over Apache Hadoop components.</p> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h3><a name="Goals_Overview"></a>Goals Overview</h3> |
| <p>Apache Ranger has the following goals:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Centralized security administration to manage all security related tasks in a central UI or using REST APIs.</li> |
| <li>Fine grained authorization to do a specific action and/or operation with Hadoop component/tool and managed through a central administration tool</li> |
| <li>Standardize authorization method across all Hadoop components.</li> |
| <li>Enhanced support for different authorization methods - Role based access control, attribute based access control etc.</li> |
| <li>Centralize auditing of user access and administrative actions (security related) within all the components of Hadoop.</li></ul></div> |
