Simply said, this version includes a new internal security system that aims to give Ilum better authorization and authentication. This feature keeps all user data within a dedicated database and servers make use of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) which makes sure every action made on the server is permissioned. You can now organize Users into Roles and Groups which allow you to consistently assign permissions to them across the platform.
The new framework provides default roles such as ADMIN, USER, DATA_ENGINEER and DATA_SCIENTIST to define defaults for common users. Each role has its own set of permissions that allow users to perform jobs and run services. Access is also provided to various modules that include File Explorer, Jupyter/ Zeppelin Notebooks, History Server, etc. Admin can also see the logs which capture all the activity done in the app with details.
