pxctl storage-policy access

pxctl storage-policy access

Description

This command manages access permissions to a storage policy. There are two ways to provide access, one is by adding a group and the other is by adding a specific user as a collaborator. When adding a collaborator, you must use the unique id of the user. Please consult with your admin on how to obtain the unique id of the user. ACCESS TYPES When adding a group or collaborator, an access type must also be given, which can be either Read, Write, or Admin. A Read access type allows access to the storage policy without modifying it. With a Read access type, one can list or inspect the storage policy. A Write access type allows modification of the storage policy and its volume specs, for example allowing to create, update stirage policy in adition to all Read access. An Admin access type allows full access to the storage policy, like deleting the storage in addition to all Write access. Note only system admin can set/release default storage policy restriction on cluster SETTING ACCESS TYPES To set access types, add the following suffix to the group or collaborator separated by a colon ':' r - For Read access type w - For Write access type a - For Admin access type

Example

Add group1 for read access
pxctl stp access add --group group1:r
Add group2 for write access
pxctl stp access add --group group2:w
Add user1 for admin access using the id of user1
pxctl stp access add --collaborator user1Id:a
Remove user1 access using the id of user1
pxctl stp access remove --collaborator user1Id
Set the access using one command. This clears any previous settings and updates it with
the following
pxctl stp access update --groups group1:r,group2:w --collaborators user1Id:a
