Policies​​

Overview

We support viewing, creating, modifying, and deleting access policies for Kubernetes clusters managed by organizations. Policies are the first step in implementing and applying Kubernetes access permissions effectively.

Viewing Policies

1. Navigate to the Administrator > Kubernetes > K8s Access Control > Policies menu.

2. Use the search bar at the top left of the table to search for Policy names based on your criteria.

3. Use the refresh button at the top right of the table to update the list of Policies with the latest information.

4. The table provides the following column information:

   1. Name : Policy name

   2. Description : Detailed description of the policy

   3. Created At : Date and time the policy was initially created
