Overview of this book

Discover how to perform a complete forensic investigation of large-scale Hadoop clusters using the same tools and techniques employed by forensic experts. This book begins by taking you through the process of forensic investigation and the pitfalls to avoid. It will walk you through Hadoop’s internals and architecture, and you will discover what types of information Hadoop stores and how to access that data. You will learn to identify Big Data evidence using techniques to survey a live system and interview witnesses. After setting up your own Hadoop system, you will collect evidence using techniques such as forensic imaging and application-based extractions. You will analyze Hadoop evidence using advanced tools and techniques to uncover events and statistical information. Finally, data visualization and evidence presentation techniques are covered to help you properly communicate your findings to any audience.

Creating IAM groups and assigning group-level permissions

You can manage users better using IAM groups than by managing them as individual users. Using groups, you can assign same permissions to multiple users. This makes it easier to assign the same permissions to multiple users. In addition, it also becomes simpler to update or reassign permissions for multiple users, or move users between groups.

Typically, you would map permissions to a specific business function in your organization followed by assigning users to that function. After creating groups, you have to create a policy and assign it to the group. Policy variables and groups allow you to manage your users without hardcoding each user in the policy.

How to do it…

Create IAM group.
Execute the following command to create a group called developers:
```
$ aws iam create-group 
--group-name developers
```
Add a user to the group.
Execute the following command to add the previously created user, ethanhunt, to the developers group:
```
$ aws...
```
