Arenadata Platform Security overview
Arenadata Platform Security (ADPS) is a security framework that is based on Apache Ranger and Apache Knox. You can use ADPS to configure authorization and policy-based access control for ADS services.

rangeradmin
andrangerlogger
) and two new databases (default names:ranger
andranger_audit
). -
