      Custom Kubernetes role created for specific clusters cannot view the jobs

Custom Kubernetes role created for specific clusters cannot view the jobs

When a custom RBAC role is created for Kubernetes workload with specific Kubernetes clusters then the system administrator must explicitly provide the permissions to view Kubernetes jobs, else all the Kubernetes specific jobs will not be visible.

If the system administrator does not provide the permission to view the Kubernetes jobs, then the user may view the following jobs:

  • Only restore jobs in the hierarchy view.

  • Only snapshot and restore jobs in the list view.

If a custom based Kubernetes role created is not able to view the jobs for specific Kubernetes clusters. Then perform the following steps to provide view permissions.

To provide view permissions

  1. On the left click Kubernetes under Workload.
  2. On the right click Kubernetes setting > Manage permissions.
  3. Click the vertical ellipse next to the corresponding role and select Edit.
  4. In the Edit permissions, select Edit, and View jobs permissions for the role and then, click Save.

    Kubernetes custom role user will be able to view backup, snapshot, restore and backup form snapshot jobs both in the hierarchical and list view.

Assumptions:

  • If the setup is upgraded, then the user may view the following:

    • Only restore jobs in the hierarchy view from the existing jobs.

    • Only snapshot and restore jobs in the list view from the existing jobs.

  • If a custom role for Kubernetes is created with permission to the selected Kubernetes clusters, then user can cancel and restart operations only on the snapshot jobs.
