Overview of Creating Cluster Access Policies
< overview | cluster access policy create workflow
Creating a cluster access policy involves several sections which you must follow in order. Key points for each section are described below:
Details
- Identification and Description: Use clear and concise names and descriptions to help your team quickly grasp the policy's purpose and configuration.
Scope
Scoping a cluster access policy offers these benefits:
- Workspaces: Scope policies to specific developer workspaces to address their unique requirements.
- 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.
