Role-based Access Control for Logging
Rancher logging has two roles, logging-admin
and logging-view
.
logging-admin
gives users full access to namespacedFlows
andOutputs
logging-view
allows users to view namespacedFlows
andOutputs
, andClusterFlows
andClusterOutputs
Why choose one role over the other?
Edit access to ClusterFlow
and ClusterOutput
resources is powerful. Any user with it has edit access for all logs in the cluster.
In Rancher, the cluster administrator role is the only role with full access to all rancher-logging
resources. Cluster members are not able to edit or read any logging resources. Project owners and members have the following privileges:
Project Owners | Project Members |
---|---|
able to create namespaced Flows and Outputs in their projects' namespaces | only able to view the Flows and Outputs in projects' namespaces |
can collect logs from anything in their projects' namespaces | cannot collect any logs in their projects' namespaces |
Both project owners and project members require at least one namespace in their project to use logging. If they do not, then they may not see the logging button in the top nav dropdown.
