Access Restrictions

For an overview and usage of access restrictions, refer to the Access Restrictions Usage Documentation.

Configuring the Dashboard

Operators can configure the Gardener Dashboard to define available access restrictions and their options. This configuration determines what is displayed to end-users in the Dashboard UI.

Configuration Methods

The Dashboard can be installed and configured in two ways:

  1. Via Helm Chart: Configuration is provided through the values.yaml file.
  2. Via Gardener Operator: Configuration is provided through a ConfigMap referenced by the Gardener Operator.

1. Installing via Helm Chart

When installing the Dashboard via Helm chart, access restrictions are configured in the values.yaml file.

Example values.yaml:

accessRestriction:
  noItemsText: No access restriction options available for region {region} and cloud profile {cloudProfile}
  items:
  - key: eu-access-only
    display:
      title: EU Access Only # Optional title; if not specified, `key` is used
      description: Restricts access to EU regions only # Optional description displayed in a tooltip
    input:
      title: EU Access
      description: |
        This service is offered with our regular SLAs and 24x7 support for the control plane of the cluster. 24x7 support for cluster add-ons and nodes is only available if you meet the following conditions:        
    options:
    - key: support.gardener.cloud/eu-access-for-cluster-addons
      display:
        visibleIf: true # Controls visibility based on a condition
      input:
        title: No personal data is used in resource names or contents
        description: |
          If you can't comply, only third-level support during usual 8x5 working hours in the EEA will be available for cluster add-ons.          
        inverted: false # Determines if the input value is inverted
    - key: support.gardener.cloud/eu-access-for-cluster-nodes
      display:
        visibleIf: false # Controls visibility based on a condition
      input:
        title: No personal data is stored in Kubernetes volumes except certain types
        description: |
          If you can't comply, only third-level support during usual 8x5 working hours in the EEA will be available for node-related components.          
        inverted: true # Determines if the input value is inverted

2. Installing via Gardener Operator

When the Dashboard is installed via the Gardener Operator, access restrictions are configured in a separate ConfigMap referenced by the Operator using .spec.virtualCluster.gardener.gardenerDashboard.frontendConfigMapRef within the Garden resource.

Example ConfigMap:

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: gardener-dashboard-frontend
  namespace: garden
data:
  frontend-config.yaml: |
    accessRestriction:
      noItemsText: No access restriction options available for region {region} and cloud profile {cloudProfile}
      items:
      - key: eu-access-only
        display:
          title: EU Access Only
          description: Restricts access to EU regions only
        input:
          title: EU Access
          description: |

          input:

            description: |
              If you can't comply, only third-level support during usual 8x5 working hours in the EEA will be available for cluster add-ons.
            inverted: false
        - key: support.gardener.cloud/eu-access-for-cluster-nodes
          display:
            visibleIf: false
          input:

            description: |

            inverted: true

Understanding input and display

  • display:

    • Purpose: Defines how the access restriction and its options are presented in the Dashboard UI using chips.
    • Properties:
      • title: Label shown on the chip. If not specified, key is used.
      • description: Tooltip content when hovering over the chip.
      • visibleIf (for options): Determines if the option’s chip is displayed based on its value.

  • input:

    • Purpose: Configures the interactive elements (switches, checkboxes) that users interact with to enable or disable access restrictions and options.
    • Properties:
      • title: Label for the input control.
      • description: Detailed information or instructions for the input control.
      • inverted (for options): Determines if the input value is inverted (true or false). When inverted is true, the control behaves inversely (e.g., checked means false).

No Access Restrictions Available

If no access restrictions are available for the selected region and cloud profile, the text specified in accessRestriction.noItemsText is displayed. Placeholders {region} and {cloudProfile} can be used in the text.
