This question is in the context of HDInsight Hadoop (Linux) cluster. Once we login to Azure account through Visual Studio , based on whichever Azure subscriptions are added to our account we can see the list of HDInsight clusters in those subscriptions in the Server Explorer -- and then we can simply write/submit hive queries to those clusters directly. This doesn't involve any authentication -- as it happens behind the scenes seamlessly. But when we do that , the submitted hive queries use the default 'admin' as the user. What if I have created some local Ambari user and I would like Visual Studio to use that instead of the default 'admin'? Is there any way to force Visual Studio to use local Ambari user?

If you have created a local Ambari user. You can Link to or edit a cluster in Visual Studio.
To link an HDInsight cluster:
Right-click HDInsight, and then select Link a HDInsight Cluster to display the Link a HDInsight Cluster dialog box.
Enter a Connection Url in the form
https://CLUSTERNAME.azurehdinsight.net. The Cluster Name automatically fills in with the cluster name portion of your URL when you go to another field. Then enter a Username and Password, and select Next.
- Select Finish. If the cluster linking is successful, the cluster is then listed under the HDInsight node.
To update a linked cluster, right-click the cluster and select Edit. You can then update the cluster information.
