Building a Custom Read-only Global Role with the Rancher Kubernetes API

In 2.8, Rancher added a new field to the GlobalRoles resource (inheritedClusterRoles), which allows users to grant permissions on all downstream clusters. With the addition of this field, it is now possible to create a custom global role that grants user-configurable permissions on all current and future downstream clusters. This post will outline how to create this role using the new Rancher Kubernetes API, which is currently the best-supported method to use this new feature.

Announcing the Rancher Kubernetes API

It is our pleasure to introduce the first officially supported API with Rancher v2.8: the Rancher Kubernetes API, or RK-API for short.

Continuing this momentum, we are thrilled to announce the release of Rancher 2.8 and Rancher Prime 2.0.

Our dedicated team has been hard at work incorporating this feedback into our development process, and today, I am thrilled to introduce Harvester v1.2.0!
