Setup Multi User
SUSE® Rancher Prime Continuous Delivery uses Kubernetes RBAC where possible.
One addition on top of RBAC is the GitRepoRestriction resource, which can be used to control GitRepo resources in a namespace.
A multi-user fleet setup looks like this:
-
tenants don’t share namespaces, each tenant has one or more namespaces on the upstream cluster, where they can create GitRepo resources
-
tenants can’t deploy cluster wide resources and are limited to a set of namespaces on downstream clusters
-
clusters are in a separate namespace
|
important information
The isolation of tenants is not complete and relies on Kubernetes RBAC to be set up correctly. Without manual setup from an operator tenants can still deploy cluster wide resources. Even with the available SUSE® Rancher Prime Continuous Delivery restrictions, users are only restricted to namespaces, but namespaces don’t provide much isolation on their own. E.g. they can still consume as many resources as they like. However, the existing SUSE® Rancher Prime Continuous Delivery restrictions allow users to share clusters, and deploy resources without conflicts. |
Example User
This would create a user 'fleetuser', who can only manage GitRepo resources in the 'project1' namespace.
kubectl create serviceaccount fleetuser kubectl create namespace project1 kubectl create -n project1 role fleetuser --verb=get --verb=list --verb=create --verb=delete --resource=gitrepos.fleet.cattle.io kubectl create -n project1 rolebinding fleetuser --serviceaccount=default:fleetuser --role=fleetuser
If we want to give access to multiple namespaces, we can use a single cluster role with two role bindings:
kubectl create clusterrole fleetuser --verb=get --verb=list --verb=create --verb=delete --resource=gitrepos.fleet.cattle.io kubectl create -n project1 rolebinding fleetuser --serviceaccount=default:fleetuser --clusterrole=fleetuser kubectl create -n project2 rolebinding fleetuser --serviceaccount=default:fleetuser --clusterrole=fleetuser
This makes sure, tenants can’t interfere with GitRepo resources from other tenants, since they don’t have access to their namespaces.
Allow Access to Clusters
This assumes all GitRepos created by 'fleetuser' have the team: one label. Different labels could be used, to select different cluster namespaces.
In each of the user’s namespaces, as an admin create a BundleNamespaceMapping.
kind: BundleNamespaceMapping
apiVersion: fleet.cattle.io/v1alpha1
metadata:
name: mapping
namespace: project1
# Bundles to match by label.
# The labels are defined in the fleet.yaml # labels field or from the
# GitRepo metadata.labels field
bundleSelector:
matchLabels:
team: one
# or target one repo
#fleet.cattle.io/repo-name: simpleapp
# Namespaces, containing clusters, to match by label
namespaceSelector:
matchLabels:
kubernetes.io/metadata.name: fleet-default
# the label is on the namespace
#workspace: prod
The target section in the GitRepo resource can be used to deploy only to a subset of the matched clusters.
Restricting Access to Downstream Clusters
Admins can further restrict tenants by creating a GitRepoRestriction in each of their namespaces.
kind: GitRepoRestriction apiVersion: fleet.cattle.io/v1alpha1 metadata: name: restriction namespace: project1 allowedTargetNamespaces: - project1simpleapp
This will deny the creation of cluster wide resources, which may interfere with other tenants and limit the deployment to the 'project1simpleapp' namespace.
An Example GitRepo Resource
A GitRepo resource created by a tenant, without admin access could look like this:
kind: GitRepo
apiVersion: fleet.cattle.io/v1alpha1
metadata:
name: simpleapp
namespace: project1
labels:
team: one
spec:
repo: https://github.com/rancher/fleet-examples
paths:
- bundle-diffs
targetNamespace: project1simpleapp
# do not match the upstream/local cluster, won't work
targets:
- name: dev
clusterSelector:
matchLabels:
env: dev
This includes the team: one label and and the required targetNamespace.
Together with the previous BundleNamespaceMapping it would target all clusters with a env: dev label in the 'fleet-default' namespace.
