Important

Azure Red Hat OpenShift 3.11 will be retired 30 June 2022. Support for creation of new Azure Red Hat OpenShift 3.11 clusters continues through 30 November 2020. Following retirement, remaining Azure Red Hat OpenShift 3.11 clusters will be shut down to prevent security vulnerabilities.

Follow this guide to create an Azure Red Hat OpenShift 4 cluster. If you have specific questions, please contact us


Overview

This topic contains authorization tasks for application developers and their capabilities, as dictated by the cluster administrator.

Checking If Users Can Create Pods

Using the scc-review and scc-subject-review options, you can see if an individual user, or a user under a specific service account, can create or update a pod.

Using the scc-review option, you can check if a service account can create or update a pod. The command outputs the security context constraints that admit the resource.

For example, to check if a user with the system:serviceaccount:projectname:default service account can a create a pod:

$ oc policy scc-review -z system:serviceaccount:projectname:default -f my_resource.yaml

You can also use the scc-subject-review option to check whether a specific user can create or update a pod:

$ oc policy scc-subject-review -u <username> -f my_resource.yaml

To check if a user belonging to a specific group can create a pod in a specific file:

$ oc policy scc-subject-review -u <username> -g <groupname> -f my_resource.yaml

Determining What You Can Do as an Authenticated User

From within your Azure Red Hat OpenShift project, you can determine what verbs you can perform against all namespace-scoped resources (including third-party resources).

The can-i command option tests scopes in terms of the user and role.

$ oc policy can-i --list --loglevel=8

The output helps you to determine what API request to make to gather the information.

To receive information back in a user-readable format, run:

$ oc policy can-i --list

The output provides a full list.

To determine if you can perform specific verbs, run:

$ oc policy can-i <verb> <resource>

can provide more information about a given scope. For example:

$ oc policy can-i <verb> <resource> --scopes=user:info
