Permissions

Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) are implemented on rancher so non admin users are limited to what they can interact with. Currently users have the ability to do the following:

Create a namespace

In k8s namespaces provide a way to isolate resources within a single cluster. A more in depth explanation is provided via the link in the previous sentence but at the core namespaces allow cluster resources to be divided among multiple users while providing a certain level of isolation. The primary way to create a new namespace is via the Rancher UI

Note

Namespace names have to be unique and names inside a namespace also have to be unique. Resource names can be duplicated across different namespaces. When creating a new namespace please use something unique like your SSO username.

Deploy k8s objects to user created namespace

Once a namespace has been created that is accessible you can create different k8s objects inside that namespace. There’s a number of different k8s objects and the link will provide much more detail than is provided here. Currently we provide documentation on how to deploy a web application with Helm and Argo CD.
