This page lists the default permissions for each user role on Astro Private Cloud. To modify these default permissions, see Customize role permissions.

​
Config governance permissions (2.0)

Astro Private Cloud 2.0 adds permissions for config governance on the deployments object (cluster, workspace, and deployment overrides). The APC API checks these permission strings (not the UI label) when you call the GraphQL API. Workspace-scoped users need both a workspace role and the right deployment role when they act in a specific Deployment. System-scoped system.* permissions apply when a user is operating across workspaces or Deployments from a system role binding (for example, a System Admin). Cluster data plane overrides are updated with updateCluster and the cluster.config.* and system.clusters.update permissions (Cluster Admin and System Admin defaults), not the workspace.* or deployment.deployments.* names above. See Override data plane cluster configurations.

Default role permissions lists

The following sections list the permission values that each role has by default as defined in the Astronomer Helm chart. You can update these permissions in your values.yaml file if you want to change the permissions that each role has. See Customize role permissions. These lists are also published in YAML form in the Astronomer documentation repository.
