Scope

  • Stages: Ensure consistent access privileges across clusters within a stage such as production and non-production.

Policy Settings

  • Tailor the policy to grant access either directly to users or to access tokens, depending on your security or operational needs.
  • Define which roles and groups are permitted access, ensuring that only authorised individuals or systems can interact with the cluster.
  • For user-specific policies, set the exact duration for which a user can maintain access in a single session, enhancing security and minimising risk.
