1) Just as an idea, you also could run separate zeppelin servers for each of users (if there are just handful of them).
2) Livy interpreter was already mentioned. 3) On a separate note, if two jiras in [1] were implemented, it would be possible to set for example keytab location in Spark interpreter settings to something like "~/.keytab". So "~" would mean actual user's specific home directory. And because of ZEPPELIN-2703's setuid() call, only properly authenticated users would be able to read their own keytab files. This would implement exactly what you're looking for without using Livy interpreter.
