How to check if user has permission in Web UI

Question

I have created a Spark application and also a Web UI. Now I don't want any user to modify it. I want to create a system where the user permission is checked and he is allowed to modify only if he has permission. How to enable this feature?

Answer 1

You can implement this as follows:

First, add an authentication filter to authenticate a user. Refer this: https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/configuration.html#spark-ui

If you don't install the filter then this won't work. 

Next, enable Access Control Lists like this:

val sc = new SparkContext(new SparkConf())

./bin/spark-submit <all your existing options> --spark.acls.enable=true
