<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai --> ## Summary by CodeRabbit - **New Features** - Introduced a new `super-admin` role with comprehensive permissions across resources, enhancing access control. - **Version Updates** - Application version updated from `1.6.1` to `1.6.2`. - Various packages, including `tenant`, updated to reflect new version identifiers. These updates improve user access management and ensure the application is running on the latest version. <!-- end of auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai -->
Tenant
A tenant is the main unit of security on the platform. The closest analogy would be Linux kernel namespaces.
Tenants can be created recursively and are subject to the following rules:
Higher-level tenants can access lower-level ones.
Higher-level tenants can view and manage the applications of all their children.
Each tenant has its own domain
By default (unless otherwise specified), it inherits the domain of its parent with a prefix of its name, for example, if the parent had the domain example.org, then tenant-foo would get the domain foo.example.org by default.
Kubernetes clusters created in this tenant namespace would get domains like: kubernetes-cluster.foo.example.org
Example:
tenant-root (example.org)
└── tenant-foo (foo.example.org)
└── kubernetes-cluster1 (kubernetes-cluster1.foo.example.org)
Lower-level tenants can access the cluster services of their parent (provided they do not run their own)
Thus, you can create tenant-u1 with a set of services like etcd, ingress, monitoring. And create another tenant namespace tenant-u2 inside of tenant-u1.
Let's see what will happen when you run Kubernetes and Postgres under tenant-u2 namespace.
Since tenant-u2 does not have its own cluster services like etcd, ingress, and monitoring, the applications will use the cluster services of the parent tenant.
This in turn means:
- The Kubernetes cluster data will be stored in etcd for
tenant-u1. - Access to the cluster will be through the common ingress of
tenant-u1. - Essentially, all metrics will be collected in the monitoring from
tenant-u1, and only it will have access to them.
Example:
tenant-u1
├── etcd
├── ingress
├── monitoring
└── tenant-u2
├── kubernetes-cluster1
└── postgres-db1
