After you download the kubeconfig file, you will be able to use the kubeconfig file and its Kubernetes [contexts](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubectl/cheatsheet/#kubectl-context-and-configuration) to access your downstream cluster.
_Available as of v2.4.6_
If admins have [enforced TTL on kubeconfig tokens](../../api/api-tokens/#setting-ttl-on-kubeconfig-tokens), the kubeconfig file requires [rancher cli](../cli) to be present in your PATH.

If the cluster is not an [RKE cluster,]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/) the kubeconfig file allows you to access the cluster in only one way: it lets you be authenticated with the Rancher server, then Rancher allows you to run kubectl commands on the cluster.
