Provide access to your team

There are 2 very important notions:

  • service owners which is a list of thalesian that have the right to give access to k8saas instance
  • users which is a list of thalesian that have access to k8saas instance (but haven't the permission to give access)
warning

To provide an access to a thalesian, you should be part of the service owner of your cluster. By default, the requester is service owner

Add service owner access

Using Azure Portal

First go to https://portal.azure.com and log in using the identity provided in the cluster creation form.

Then make sure you are in the right Directory Name using https://portal.azure.com/#settings/directory . Use the K8SAAS_TENANT_ID provided by email.

Then, in the search bar, on the top, search for Azure Active Directory

Select groups, and search for K8SAAS_RESOURCE_NAME (provided by email), you should see several groups. Select the group suffixed by "devops-cluster-role".

In the following example:

  • K8SAAS_RESOURCE_NAME is k8saas-lja-232-sandbox

Click on owners tab on the left, then Add owners, and finally click on "Select"

Using Azure CLI

First make sure you are logged in the right tenant. The output of the following command must contains the K8SAAS_TENANT_ID. If not re do az login -t "$K8SAAS_TENANT_ID"

az ad signed-in-user show -o json|jq '."odata.metadata"'

Identify the thalesian email address you want to add, and put in NEW_SERVICE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS

NEW_SERVICE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS="my_email@thalesdigital.io"
az ad group owner add --group $K8SAAS_RESOURCE_NAME-k8saas-devops-cluster-role --owner-object-id $(az ad user show --id $NEW_SERVICE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS -o json|jq -r '.id')
