- There is a [known issue](https://github.com/rancher/rancher/issues/25478) in which the Rancher UI doesn't show the state of etcd and controlplane as drained, even though they are being drained.
- During an upgrade, nodes may be drained even when no user-visible YAML changes are present. This can occur if non-dynamic configuration files are updated or if a new `system-agent-installer` image is introduced. In such cases, Rancher generates a new upgrade plan, resulting in a new plan hash. When `Upgrade Strategy` is set to `Drain nodes`, this plan change can trigger node draining.

### Method 1 (Recommended): Set `audit-policy-file` in `machineGlobalConfig` or `machineSelectorConfig`
You can set `audit-policy-file` in the configuration file. Rancher delivers the file to the path `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/etc/config-files/audit-policy-file` in control plane nodes, and sets the proper options in the RKE2 server.
You can set `audit-policy-file` in the configuration file using either `machineGlobalConfig` or `machineSelectorConfig`.
Example:
When using `machineGlobalConfig`, Rancher delivers the file to the path `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/etc/config-files/audit-policy-file` on **all nodes** (both control plane and worker nodes), and sets the proper options in the RKE2 server. This may cause unwanted worker node reconciliation when the audit policy is modified.
To avoid worker node reconciliation, use `machineSelectorConfig` with a label selector to target only control plane nodes. This ensures that the audit policy file is only delivered to control plane nodes.
Example using `machineGlobalConfig`:

Global Resources are non-namespaced resources provided by Rancher. Users who are
cluster-owners/project-owners do not have access to several of these by
default. For example principals and roletemplates.
The resources are documented here to support administrators creating and/or
modifying custom sets of permissions with finding the minimum set of permissions
needed for a particular task in the dashboard.
As an example, to use the cluster/project permissions pages of the dashboard
requires permissions on principals to search/display a readable name for users,
and on roleTemplates, to see a list of usable roleTemplates as well as to
display a readable name for the role.
Please see the list below to determine what permissions you may need when creating a least-privilege user.

- During an upgrade, nodes may be drained even when no user-visible YAML changes are present. This can occur if non-dynamic configuration files are updated or if a new `system-agent-installer` image is introduced. In such cases, Rancher generates a new upgrade plan, resulting in a new plan hash. When `Upgrade Strategy` is set to `Drain nodes`, this plan change can trigger node draining.

### Method 1 (Recommended): Set `audit-policy-file` in `machineGlobalConfig` or `machineSelectorConfig`
You can set `audit-policy-file` in the configuration file. Rancher delivers the file to the path `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/etc/config-files/audit-policy-file` in control plane nodes, and sets the proper options in the RKE2 server.
You can set `audit-policy-file` in the configuration file using either `machineGlobalConfig` or `machineSelectorConfig`.
Example:
When using `machineGlobalConfig`, Rancher delivers the file to the path `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/etc/config-files/audit-policy-file` on **all nodes** (both control plane and worker nodes), and sets the proper options in the RKE2 server. This may cause unwanted worker node reconciliation when the audit policy is modified.
To avoid worker node reconciliation, use `machineSelectorConfig` with a label selector to target only control plane nodes. This ensures that the audit policy file is only delivered to control plane nodes.
Example using `machineGlobalConfig`:

Global Resources are non-namespaced resources provided by Rancher. Users who are
cluster-owners/project-owners do not have access to several of these by
default. For example principals and roletemplates.
The resources are documented here to support administrators creating and/or
modifying custom sets of permissions with finding the minimum set of permissions
needed for a particular task in the dashboard.
As an example, to use the cluster/project permissions pages of the dashboard
requires permissions on principals to search/display a readable name for users,
and on roleTemplates, to see a list of usable roleTemplates as well as to
display a readable name for the role.
Please see the list below to determine what permissions you may need when creating a least-privilege user.

- During an upgrade, nodes may be drained even when no user-visible YAML changes are present. This can occur if non-dynamic configuration files are updated or if a new `system-agent-installer` image is introduced. In such cases, Rancher generates a new upgrade plan, resulting in a new plan hash. When `Upgrade Strategy` is set to `Drain nodes`, this plan change can trigger node draining.

### Method 1 (Recommended): Set `audit-policy-file` in `machineGlobalConfig` or `machineSelectorConfig`
You can set `audit-policy-file` in the configuration file. Rancher delivers the file to the path `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/etc/config-files/audit-policy-file` in control plane nodes, and sets the proper options in the RKE2 server.
You can set `audit-policy-file` in the configuration file using either `machineGlobalConfig` or `machineSelectorConfig`.
Example:
When using `machineGlobalConfig`, Rancher delivers the file to the path `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/etc/config-files/audit-policy-file` on **all nodes** (both control plane and worker nodes), and sets the proper options in the RKE2 server. This may cause unwanted worker node reconciliation when the audit policy is modified.
To avoid worker node reconciliation, use `machineSelectorConfig` with a label selector to target only control plane nodes. This ensures that the audit policy file is only delivered to control plane nodes.

Global Resources are non-namespaced resources provided by Rancher. Users who are
cluster-owners/project-owners do not have access to several of these by
default. For example principals and roletemplates.
The resources are documented here to support administrators creating and/or
modifying custom sets of permissions with finding the minimum set of permissions
needed for a particular task in the dashboard.
As an example, to use the cluster/project permissions pages of the dashboard
requires permissions on principals to search/display a readable name for users,
and on roleTemplates, to see a list of usable roleTemplates as well as to
display a readable name for the role.
Please see the list below to determine what permissions you may need when creating a least-privilege user.

- During an upgrade, nodes may be drained even when no user-visible YAML changes are present. This can occur if non-dynamic configuration files are updated or if a new `system-agent-installer` image is introduced. In such cases, Rancher generates a new upgrade plan, resulting in a new plan hash. When `Upgrade Strategy` is set to `Drain nodes`, this plan change can trigger node draining.

### Method 1 (Recommended): Set `audit-policy-file` in `machineGlobalConfig` or `machineSelectorConfig`
You can set `audit-policy-file` in the configuration file. Rancher delivers the file to the path `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/etc/config-files/audit-policy-file` in control plane nodes, and sets the proper options in the RKE2 server.
You can set `audit-policy-file` in the configuration file using either `machineGlobalConfig` or `machineSelectorConfig`.
Example:
When using `machineGlobalConfig`, Rancher delivers the file to the path `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/etc/config-files/audit-policy-file` on **all nodes** (both control plane and worker nodes), and sets the proper options in the RKE2 server. This may cause unwanted worker node reconciliation when the audit policy is modified.
To avoid worker node reconciliation, use `machineSelectorConfig` with a label selector to target only control plane nodes. This ensures that the audit policy file is only delivered to control plane nodes.

Global Resources are non-namespaced resources provided by Rancher. Users who are
cluster-owners/project-owners do not have access to several of these by
default. For example principals and roletemplates.
The resources are documented here to support administrators creating and/or
modifying custom sets of permissions with finding the minimum set of permissions
needed for a particular task in the dashboard.
As an example, to use the cluster/project permissions pages of the dashboard
requires permissions on principals to search/display a readable name for users,
and on roleTemplates, to see a list of usable roleTemplates as well as to
display a readable name for the role.
Please see the list below to determine what permissions you may need when creating a least-privilege user.

- During an upgrade, nodes may be drained even when no user-visible YAML changes are present. This can occur if non-dynamic configuration files are updated or if a new `system-agent-installer` image is introduced. In such cases, Rancher generates a new upgrade plan, resulting in a new plan hash. When `Upgrade Strategy` is set to `Drain nodes`, this plan change can trigger node draining.

### Method 1 (Recommended): Set `audit-policy-file` in `machineGlobalConfig` or `machineSelectorConfig`
You can set `audit-policy-file` in the configuration file. Rancher delivers the file to the path `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/etc/config-files/audit-policy-file` in control plane nodes, and sets the proper options in the RKE2 server.
You can set `audit-policy-file` in the configuration file using either `machineGlobalConfig` or `machineSelectorConfig`.
Example:
When using `machineGlobalConfig`, Rancher delivers the file to the path `/var/lib/rancher/rke2/etc/config-files/audit-policy-file` on **all nodes** (both control plane and worker nodes), and sets the proper options in the RKE2 server. This may cause unwanted worker node reconciliation when the audit policy is modified.
To avoid worker node reconciliation, use `machineSelectorConfig` with a label selector to target only control plane nodes. This ensures that the audit policy file is only delivered to control plane nodes.
Example using `machineGlobalConfig`:
```yaml

Global Resources are non-namespaced resources provided by Rancher. Users who are
cluster-owners/project-owners do not have access to several of these by
default. For example principals and roletemplates.
The resources are documented here to support administrators creating and/or
modifying custom sets of permissions with finding the minimum set of permissions
needed for a particular task in the dashboard.
As an example, to use the cluster/project permissions pages of the dashboard
requires permissions on principals to search/display a readable name for users,
and on roleTemplates, to see a list of usable roleTemplates as well as to
display a readable name for the role.
Please see the list below to determine what permissions you may need when creating a least-privilege user.
