Giving view access to a user

By default, only cluster administrator users and developers have access to metrics from your services. This procedure shows how to grant metrics access to a particular project to an arbitrary user.

Prerequisites

• You need to have a user created.

• You need to log in as a cluster administrator.

Procedure

• Run this command to give <user> access to all metrics of your services in <namespace>:

  $ oc policy add-role-to-user view <user> -n <namespace>

  For example, to give view access to the ns1 namespace to user bobwilliams, run:

  $ oc policy add-role-to-user view bobwilliams -n ns1

• Alternatively, in the Web console, switch to the Developer Perspective, and click Advanced → Project Access. From there, you can select the correct namespace and assign the view role to a user.
