I do like the idea of the Admin feature. It complements Multitenancy very well. Not every user should be able to change global settings that affect all users. Also most of our Zeppelin users have only high-level understanding of Spark and can only write sql queries. So the admin feature helps with reducing perceived complexity of Zeppelin too. Although I think even admins shouldn't see some user-level settings, for example, saved passwords should only be visible by users themselves.
As Jeff suggested it might be good to integrate shiro authorization into core Zeppelin. So you could map certain LDAP groups / AD groups to "admin" privilege; or just map a list of users to be "admin"s would do too. -- Ruslan Dautkhanov On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 10:14 PM, Jongyoul Lee <jongy...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi folks, > > Recently, I've heard some new feature assumed that it needed the admin > account or similar role.
