wf assume

Escalates your privileges for a short-lived time

Synopsis

By default users are not assigned long-lived permissions to clusters or to the Wayfinder API. Instead they can assume permissions by requesting access to a plan (set of permissions). Assuming they meet the constraints placed on acquiring the role, their permissions will be acquired for a period of time, after which the permissions roll back.

wf assume [flags]

Examples


# Assume namespace admin in a cluster
$ wf assume namespace.admin

# You skip the prompts by supplying the known parameters
$ wf assume namespace.admin --cluster <name> --namespace <namespace>

# Use the parameter flag to fill in the option
$ wf assume namespace.admin --param=cluster=<name> --param=namespace=<name>

# Policies that target clusters can take a second or so for the policy
# to propagate - the default behaviour is to always wait. This can be changed with
$ wf assume --no-wait

Options

      --cluster string     Cluster name you wish to assume
--dry-run Shows the resource but does not apply or create
--expire duration Expiration of the role assumption (default 8h0m0s)
