Source Security (MongoDB, HBase)

The Security section describes the permission set detected in the MongoDB or HBase source.

The Security section helps to understand which permissions were granted to security principals and on which objects.

The information is displayed based on the source-specific hierarchy available for permission sets.

The **Security** section for the MongoDB source

HBase Security

For HBase sources, the hierarchy is:

Username
Namespace
Table Name
Column Family Name
Column Qualifier Name
Permissions

The user permissions are represented as a concatenated string from the RWXCA set, with each character representing one of the privileges. If a particular privilege is not granted, it will not appear in the permission field value.

R - Read privilege
W - Write privilege
X - Execute privilege
C - Create privilege
A - Admin privilege

For more details about the permissions, see Apache HBase ™ Reference Guide.

MongoDB Security

For MongoDB sources, the hierarchy is:

Database
Role
Users in that role
