Creating a catalog user

A Iceberg REST Catalog catalog user is an account with OAuth2 access. Create a user in a project with an existing catalog.

CLI
Management console
  1. Create the RestCatalogPrincipal resource file, e.g., using the touch restcatalogprincipal.yaml command.

  2. Open the file and paste the configuration below into it. Along with the user, create an OAuth2 credentials secret:

    apiVersion: restcatalog.stackland.yandex.cloud/v1alpha1
    kind: RestCatalogPrincipal
    metadata:
      name: analytics-service-account    # Catalog user name; unique within the cluster
    spec:
      catalog: analytics                 # Catalog (RestCatalog.metadata.name) name in the same project
      principalRoles:                    # Names of user groups from the catalog's declaredPrincipalRoles
        - analytics-admin
      credentialsSecretRef:
        name: analytics-principal-credentials   # Link to secret with OAuth2 credentials
    ---
    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
      name: analytics-principal-credentials
    type: Opaque
    stringData:
      clientId: analytics-service-account       # Matches the catalog user name
      clientSecret: <client_secret>            # Set by administrator
    

    Follow these requirements:

    • spec.catalog must refer to an existing catalog named RestCatalog in the same project.
    • The names in spec.principalRoles must be on the spec.declaredPrincipalRoles list of user groups of that catalog.
  3. Apply the manifest: kubectl apply -f restcatalogprincipal.yaml -n <project_name>. Optionally, you can specify the project name in the metadata.namespace resource property and skip it in the command.

  1. If you have not opened a project yet, select one.

  2. In the left-hand menu, select Iceberg REST Catalog.

  3. In the Catalogs tab, select the catalog.

  4. Go to the Users tab.

  5. Click Create user.

  6. Fill out the fields as follows:

    • Name: Catalog user name. Once created, the name never changes.
    • Client ID: Matches the user name and cannot be changed.
    • Client secret: Specify the OAuth2 secret.
    • List of roles: Select one or more catalog user groups.
  7. Click Create.
