  • Setting rules when creating a cluster
  • Setting rules for an existing cluster
  • Example of setting access rules for catalog session properties

Access rules for catalog session propertires define whether users can set certain catalog session properties in a Managed Service for Trino cluster.

Warning

Set rules for catalog session properties to limit user consumption of system resources.

For each user-property pair, the rules apply as follows:

  • Rules are checked for matches in the order they are specified in the configuration file. The first rule matching the user-property pair applies.
  • If none of the rules match the user-property pair, the user is not allowed to set that property.
  • If no rules are specified for session properties, any user can set any session properties for all catalogs.
  • Property access rules apply together with the top-level rules for objects in catalogs.

Setting rules when creating a clusterSetting rules when creating a cluster

You can set access rules for catalog session properties when creating a Managed Service for Trino cluster.

Warning

Property names specified in the rules are not validated. If a property name contains an error, the rule will not apply correctly.

CLI
Terraform
gRPC API

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

To set access rules:

  1. Create a file named access_control.yaml and paste the following code into it:

    catalog_session_properties:
      # Rule 1
      - allow: <permission_to_set_property>
        property:
          names:
            any: [<list_of_property_names>]
          name_regexp: <regular_expression>
        catalog:
          name_regexp: <regular_expression>
        groups: [<list_of_group_IDs>]
        users: [<list_of_user_IDs>]
        description: <rule_description>
      # Rule 2
      - <Rule_2_parameters>
      ...
      # Rule N
      - <Rule_N_parameters>
    

    Where:

    • catalog_session_properties: List of rules for catalog session properties. Each rule contains the required allow parameter, as well as the optional property, catalog, groups, users, and description parameters.

    • allow: Permission to set a property:

      • YES: User is allowed to set the property.
      • NO: User is not allowed to set the property.
    • property: Properties the rule applies to. If you do not specify property, the rule applies to all properties.

      • names: List of property names.
      • name_regexp: Regular expression. The rule applies to the properties whose names match the regular expression.

      You can specify either names or name_regexp but not both.

    • catalog: Cluster catalogs the rule applies to. If you do not specify catalog, the rule applies to all cluster catalogs.

      • name_regexp: Regular expression. The rule applies to the catalogs whose names match the regular expression.
    • groups: List of group IDs the rule applies to. If you do not specify groups, the rule applies to all user groups.

    • users: List of user IDs the rule applies to. If you do not specify users, the rule applies to all users.

    • description: Rule description.

  2. View the description of the CLI command for creating a cluster:

    yc managed-trino cluster create --help
    
  3. Run this command:

    yc managed-trino cluster create \
      ...
      --access-control-from-file access_control.yaml
    

    For available cluster parameters and their descriptions, see this guide.

  1. Create a Terraform configuration file describing your infrastructure.

  2. Add to the configuration file the yandex_trino_access_control resource containing the catalog_session_properties rule list.

    resource "yandex_trino_cluster" "<cluster_name>" {
      ...
    }
    
    resource "yandex_trino_catalog" "<catalog_1_name>" {
      ...
    }
    
    resource "yandex_trino_catalog" "<catalog_2_name>" {
      ...
    }
    
    ...
    
    resource "yandex_trino_catalog" "<catalog_N_name>" {
      ...
    }
    
    resource "yandex_trino_access_control" "trino_access_control" {
      ...
      cluster_id  = yandex_trino_cluster.<cluster_name>.id
      catalog_session_properties = [
        # Rule 1
        {
          allow         = "<permission_to_set_property>"
          property      = {
            names       = ["<list_of_property_names>"]
            name_regexp = "<regular_expression>"
          }
          catalog       = {
            ids         = [
              yandex_trino_catalog.<catalog_1_name>.id,
              yandex_trino_catalog.<catalog_2_name>.id,
              ... 
              yandex_trino_catalog.<catalog_N_name>.id
            ]
            name_regexp = "<regular_expression>"
          }
          users         = ["<list_of_user_IDs>"]
          groups        = ["<list_of_group_IDs>"]
          description   = "<rule_description>"
        },
        # Rule 2
        {
          ... 
        },
        ...
        # Rule N
        {
          ... 
        }
      ]
      ...
    }
    

    Where:

    • catalog_session_properties: List of rule sections for catalog session properties. Each rule contains the required allow parameter, as well as the optional property, catalog, groups, users, and description parameters.

    • allow: Permission to set a property:

      • YES: User is allowed to set the property.
      • NO: User is not allowed to set the property.
    • property: Properties the rule applies to. If the property section is not specified, the rule applies to all properties.

      • names: List of property names.
      • name_regexp: Regular expression. The rule applies to the properties whose names match the regular expression.

      You can specify either names or name_regexp but not both.

    • catalog: Cluster catalogs the rule applies to. If the catalog section is not specified, the rule applies to all cluster catalogs.

      • ids: List of catalog IDs. These catalogs must be created in the same manifest.

  3. Make sure the settings are correct.

    1. In the command line, navigate to the directory that contains the current Terraform configuration files defining the infrastructure.

    2. Run this command:

      terraform validate
      

      Terraform will show any errors found in your configuration files.

  4. Confirm updating the resources.

    1. Run this command to view the planned changes:

      terraform plan
      

      If you described the configuration correctly, the terminal will display a list of the resources to update and their parameters. This is a verification step that does not apply changes to your resources.

    2. If everything looks correct, apply the changes:

      1. Run this command:

        terraform apply
        
      2. Confirm updating the resources.

      3. Wait for the operation to complete.

For more information, see this Terraform provider guide.

  1. Get an IAM token for API authentication and put it in an environment variable:

    export IAM_TOKEN="<IAM_token>"
    
  2. Clone the cloudapi repository:

    cd ~/ && git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/yandex-cloud/cloudapi
    

    Below, we assume that the repository contents reside in the ~/cloudapi/ directory.

  3. Run this command:

    yc managed-trino cluster set-access-control <cluster_name_or_ID> \
      --from-file access_control.yaml
    

    You can get the cluster ID and name with the list of clusters in the folder.

  1. Open the current Terraform configuration file describing your infrastructure.

    To learn how to create this file, see Creating a cluster.

  2. If you have not set any access rules yet, add the yandex_trino_access_control resource containing the system_session_properties rule list.

    Where:

    • cluster_id: Cluster ID.

      You can get the cluster ID with the list of clusters in the folder.

    • update_mask: List of parameters to update as an array of strings (paths[]).

      Format for listing settings
      "update_mask": {
        "paths": [
          "<setting_1>",
          "<setting_2>",
          ...
          "<setting_N>"
        ]
      }
      

      Warning

      When you update a cluster, all parameters of the object you are modifying will take their defaults unless explicitly provided in the request. To avoid this, list the settings you want to change in the update_mask parameter.

    • access_control: Access rule configuration in the cluster.

    • system_session_properties: List of rule sections for catalog session properties. Each rule contains the required allow parameter, as well as the optional property, catalog, groups, users, and description parameters.

    • allow: Permission to set a property:

      • YES: User is allowed to set the property.
      • NO: User is not allowed to set the property.
    • property: Properties the rule applies to. If the property section is not specified, the rule applies to all properties.

      • names: List of property names.
      • name_regexp: Regular expression. The rule applies to the properties whose names match the regular expression.

      The property section must contain either the nested names section or the name_regexp parameter.

    • catalog: Catalogs the rule applies to. If the catalog section is not specified, the rule applies to all cluster catalogs.

      • ids: List of catalog IDs. These must be the existing catalogs.
      • names: List of catalog names. These must be the existing catalogs.
      • name_regexp: Regular expression. The rule applies to the catalogs whose names match the regular expression.

      The catalog section must contain either one of the nested ids or names sections, or the name_regexp parameter.

    • groups: List of group IDs the rule applies to. If you do not specify groups, the rule applies to all user groups.

    • users: List of user IDs the rule applies to. If you do not specify users, the rule applies to all users.

    • description: Rule description.

  4. If you have already set the access rules, open the existing body.json rules file and edit it as needed. You can:

    • Add new rules.
    • Update the existing ones.
    • Delete the rules you no longer need.
  5. Call the ClusterService.Update method, e.g., via the following gRPCurl request:

    grpcurl \
      -format json \
      -import-path ~/cloudapi/ \
      -import-path ~/cloudapi/third_party/googleapis/ \
      -proto ~/cloudapi/yandex/cloud/trino/v1/cluster_service.proto \
      -rpc-header "Authorization: Bearer $IAM_TOKEN" \
      -d @ \
      trino.api.cloud.yandex.net:443 \
      yandex.cloud.trino.v1.ClusterService.Update \
      < body.json
    
  6. Check the server response to make sure your request was successful.

Example of setting access rules for catalog session propertiesExample of setting access rules for catalog session properties

Let's configure access rules for catalog session properties:

  1. Allow users in the group with the admins_group_id to set any properties.
  2. Allow users in the group with the analytics_group_id to set properties with names such as parquet_.* in the catalog with the hive_cat_id.
  3. Prohibit all other users from setting properties.

The access_control.yaml file for this rule set is as follows:

catalog_session_properties:
  - groups: 
      - admins_group_id
    allow: YES

  - groups: 
      - data_engineers_group_id
    property:
      name_regexp: "parquet.*"
    catalog:
      ids:
        any:
          - hive_cat_id
    allow: YES

The configuration file for this rule set is as follows:

resource "yandex_trino_access_control" "trino_access_control" {
  ...
  cluster_id  = <cluster_ID>
  catalog_session_properties = [
    {
      groups        = ["admins_group_id"]
      allow         = "YES"
    },
    {
      groups        = ["data_engineers_group_id"]
      property      = {
        name_regexp = "parquet.*"
      }
      catalog       = {
        ids         = ["hive_cat_id"]
      }
      allow         = "YES"
    }
  ]
  ...
}

The body.json file for this rule set is as follows:

{
  "cluster_id": "<cluster_ID>",
  "update_mask": {
    "paths": [
      "trino.access_control.catalog_session_properties"
    ]
  },
  "trino": {
    "access_control": {
      "catalog_session_properties": [
        {
          "groups": [
            "admins_group_id"
          ],
          "allow": "YES"
        },
        {
          "groups": [
            "data_engineers_group_id"
          ],
          "catalog": {
            "ids": {
              "any": ["hive_cat_id"]
            }
          },
          "property": {
            "name_regexp": "parquet.*"
          },
          "allow": "YES"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}
