Adding Cluster Members


If you want to provide a user with access and permissions to all projects, nodes, and resources within a cluster, assign the user a cluster membership.

Tip: Want to provide a user with access to a specific project within a cluster? See Adding Project Members instead.

There are two contexts where you can add cluster members:

You can add members to a cluster as you create it (recommended if possible).

You can always add members to a cluster later. See below.

Adding Members to an Existing Cluster

Following cluster creation, you can add users as cluster members so that they can access its resources.

  • From the Global view, open the cluster that you want to add members to.

  • From the main menu, select Members. Then click Add Member.

  • Search for the user or group that you want to add to the cluster.

If external authentication is configured:

Using AD but can’t find your users?There may be an issue with your search attribute configuration. See Configuring Active Directory Authentication: Step 5.

  • A drop-down allows you to add groups instead of individual users. The drop-down only lists groups that you, the logged in user, are part of.

Note: If you are logged in as a local user, external users do not display in your search results. For more information, see External Authentication Configuration and Principal Users.

  • Assign the user or group Cluster roles.

What are Cluster Roles?

Tip: For Custom Roles, you can modify the list of individual roles available for assignment.

Result: The chosen users are added to the cluster.

  • To revoke cluster membership, select the user and click Delete. This action deletes membership, not the user.
  • To modify a user’s roles in the cluster, delete them from the cluster, and then re-add them with modified roles.
