User Settings
The users
section of the user.xml
configuration file contains user settings.
Structure of the users
section:
<users>
<!-- If user name was not specified, 'default' user is used. -->
<user_name>
<password></password>
<!-- Or -->
<password_sha256_hex></password_sha256_hex>
<networks incl="networks" replace="replace">
</networks>
<profile>profile_name</profile>
<quota>default</quota>
<databases>
<database_name>
<table_name>
<filter>expression</filter>
<table_name>
</database_name>
</databases>
</user_name>
<!-- Other users settings -->
</users>
user_name/password
Password can be specified in plaintext or in SHA256 (hex format).
-
To assign a password in plaintext (not recommended), place it in a
password
element.For example,
<password>qwerty</password>
. The password can be left blank.
-
To assign a password using its SHA256 hash, place it in a
password_sha256_hex
element.For example,
<password_sha256_hex>65e84be33532fb784c48129675f9eff3a682b27168c0ea744b2cf58ee02337c5</password_sha256_hex>
.Example of how to generate a password from shell:
PASSWORD=$(base64 < /dev/urandom | head -c8); echo "$PASSWORD"; echo -n "$PASSWORD" | sha256sum | tr -d '-'
The first line of the result is the password. The second line is the corresponding SHA256 hash.
-
For compatibility with MySQL clients, password can be specified in double SHA1 hash. Place it in
password_double_sha1_hex
element.For example,
<password_double_sha1_hex>08b4a0f1de6ad37da17359e592c8d74788a83eb0</password_double_sha1_hex>
.Example of how to generate a password from shell:
PASSWORD=$(base64 < /dev/urandom | head -c8); echo "$PASSWORD"; echo -n "$PASSWORD" | sha1sum | tr -d '-' | xxd -r -p | sha1sum | tr -d '-'
The first line of the result is the password. The second line is the corresponding double SHA1 hash.
user_name/networks
List of networks from which the user can connect to the ClickHouse server.
Each element of the list can have one of the following forms:
-
<ip>
— IP address or network mask.Examples:
213.180.204.3
,10.0.0.1/8
,10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
,2a02:6b8::3
,2a02:6b8::3/64
,2a02:6b8::3/ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff::
. -
<host>
— Hostname.Example:
example01.host.ru
.To check access, a DNS query is performed, and all returned IP addresses are compared to the peer address.
-
<host_regexp>
— Regular expression for hostnames.Example,
^example\d\d-\d\d-\d\.host\.ru$
To check access, a DNS PTR query is performed for the peer address and then the specified regexp is applied. Then, another DNS query is performed for the results of the PTR query and all the received addresses are compared to the peer address. We strongly recommend that regexp ends with $.
All results of DNS requests are cached until the server restarts.
Examples
To open access for user from any network, specify:
<ip>::/0</ip>
!!! warning "Warning" It’s insecure to open access from any network unless you have a firewall properly configured or the server is not directly connected to Internet.
To open access only from localhost, specify:
<ip>::1</ip>
<ip>127.0.0.1</ip>
user_name/profile
You can assign a settings profile for the user. Settings profiles are configured in a separate section of the users.xml
file. For more information, see Profiles of Settings.
user_name/quota
Quotas allow you to track or limit resource usage over a period of time. Quotas are configured in the quotas
section of the users.xml
configuration file.
You can assign a quotas set for the user. For a detailed description of quotas configuration, see Quotas.
user_name/databases
In this section, you can you can limit rows that are returned by ClickHouse for SELECT
queries made by the current user, thus implementing basic row-level security.
Example
The following configuration forces that user user1
can only see the rows of table1
as the result of SELECT
queries, where the value of the id
field is 1000.
<user1>
<databases>
<database_name>
<table1>
<filter>id = 1000</filter>
</table1>
</database_name>
</databases>
</user1>
The filter
can be any expression resulting in a UInt8-type value. It usually contains comparisons and logical operators. Rows from database_name.table1
where filter results to 0 are not returned for this user. The filtering is incompatible with PREWHERE
operations and disables WHERE→PREWHERE
optimization.
