Python API to create Hue users/group using kerberos authentication

In this post i am going to show how to automate create/modify/delete users/groups in Cloudera Hue using python script.

Hue already simplified creating users and groups by sync ldap users and sync groups. But still in our client place we need to create hue users and groups manually since hdfs group mapping configured with ShellBasedUnixGroupsMapping and all the AD groups are created with Windows format.
