Creating a Resource Principal

Create Big Data Service cluster resource principals from the Cluster details page.

Big Data Service periodically refreshes the resource principal session token after it's created. The refresh is done after the token's life span has passed 80% of its validity. For example, if the life span is 10 hours, Big Data Service begins to refresh the token by the 8th hour after the token valid start time.

  • Only one active resource principal configuration is allowed per cluster.
