Project Roles

Project Roles are used to define permissions at the namespace level.

Configure Project Role - UI Method

In the example below, a Project Role is created with a single Rule. This Project Role corresponds to a admin role.

You can create a Project Role with several Rules.

Configure Project Role - CLI Method

The same Project Role can also be created using kubectl:

cat << EOF | kubectl create -f -
apiVersion: workspaces.kommander.mesosphere.io/v1alpha1
kind: ProjectRole
metadata:
  annotations:
    kommander.mesosphere.io/display-name: Admin
  generateName: admin-
  namespace: ${projectns}
spec:
  rules:
  - apiGroups:
    - '*'
    resources:
    - '*'
    verbs:
    - '*'
EOF

Ensure the projectns variable is set before executing the command.

You can set it using the following command (for a Kommander Project called project1, and after setting the workspacens as explained in the previous section):

projectns=$(kubectl -n ${workspacens} get projects.workspaces.kommander.mesosphere.io -o jsonpath='{.items[?(@.metadata.generateName=="project1-")].status.namespaceRef.name}')

When a Project Role is created, Kommander creates a Kubernetes FederatedRole on the Kubernetes cluster where Kommander is running:

kubectl -n ${projectns} get federatedroles.types.kubefed.io admin-dbfpj-l6s9g -o yaml
apiVersion: types.kubefed.io/v1beta1
kind: FederatedRole
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2020-06-04T11:54:26Z"
  finalizers:
  - kubefed.io/sync-controller
  generation: 1
  name: admin-dbfpj-l6s9g
  namespace: project1-5ljs9-lhvjl
  ownerReferences:
  - apiVersion: workspaces.kommander.mesosphere.io/v1alpha1
    blockOwnerDeletion: true
    controller: true
    kind: ProjectRole
    name: admin-dbfpj
    uid: e5f3b2ca-16bf-474d-8305-7be04c034793
  resourceVersion: "75680"
  selfLink: /apis/types.kubefed.io/v1beta1/namespaces/project1-5ljs9-lhvjl/federatedroles/admin-dbfpj-l6s9g
  uid: 1e5a3d98-b223-4605-bba1-16276a3eb47c
spec:
  placement:
    clusterSelector: {}
  template:
    rules:
    - apiGroups:
      - '*'
      resourceNames:
      - '*'
      resources:
      - '*'
      verbs:
      - '*'
status:
  clusters:
  - name: konvoy-5nr5h
  conditions:
  - lastTransitionTime: "2020-06-04T11:54:26Z"
    lastUpdateTime: "2020-06-04T11:54:26Z"
    status: "True"
    type: Propagation
  observedGeneration: 1

Then, if you run the following command on a Kubernetes cluster associated with the Project, you see a Kubernetes Role object in the corresponding namespace:

kubectl -n ${projectns} get role admin-dbfpj-l6s9g -o yaml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: "2020-06-04T11:54:26Z"
  labels:
    kubefed.io/managed: "true"
  name: admin-dbfpj-l6s9g
  namespace: project1-5ljs9-lhvjl
  resourceVersion: "29218"
  selfLink: /apis/rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1/namespaces/project1-5ljs9-lhvjl/roles/admin-dbfpj-l6s9g
  uid: f05b998c-4649-4e73-bbfe-c12bc4c86a3c
rules:
- apiGroups:
  - '*'
  resourceNames:
  - '*'
  resources:
  - '*'
  verbs:
  - '*'
