If you are an RKE template owner, you can share it with users or groups of users, who can then use the template to create clusters.
|
|
|
|
Since RKE templates are specifically shared with users and groups, owners can share different RKE templates with different sets of users.
|
|
|
|
When you share a template, each user can have one of two access levels:
|
|
|
|
- **Owner:** This user can update, delete, and share the templates that they own. The owner can also share the template with other users.
|
|
- **User:** These users can create clusters using the template. They can also upgrade those clusters to new revisions of the same template. When you share a template as **Make Public (read-only),** all users in your Rancher setup have the User access level for the template.
|
|
|
|
If you create a template, you automatically become an owner of that template.
|
|
|
|
If you want to delegate responsibility for updating the template, you can share ownership of the template. For details on how owners can modify templates, refer to the [documentation about revising templates.]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.6/en/admin-settings/rke-templates/creating-and-revising)
|
|
|
|
There are several ways to share templates:
|
|
|
|
- Add users to a new RKE template during template creation
|
|
- Add users to an existing RKE template
|
|
- Make the RKE template public, sharing it with all users in the Rancher setup
|
|
- Share template ownership with users who are trusted to modify the template
|
|
|
|
### Sharing Templates with Specific Users or Groups
|
|
|
|
To allow users or groups to create clusters using your template, you can give them the basic **User** access level for the template.
|
|
|
|
1. In the upper left corner, click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
|
1. Under **RKE1 configuration**, click **RKE Templates**.
|
|
1. Go to the template that you want to share and click the **⋮ > Edit**.
|
|
1. In the **Share Template** section, click on **Add Member**.
|
|
1. Search in the **Name** field for the user or group you want to share the template with.
|
|
1. Choose the **User** access type.
|
|
1. Click **Save**.
|
|
|
|
**Result:** The user or group can create clusters using the template.
|
|
|
|
### Sharing Templates with All Users
|
|
|
|
1. In the upper left corner, click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
|
1. In the left navigation menu, click **RKE1 Configuration > RKE Templates**.
|
|
1. Go to the template that you want to share and click the **⋮ > Edit**.
|
|
1. Under **Share Template,** check the box for **Make Public (read-only)**.
|
|
1. Click **Save**.
|
|
|
|
**Result:** All users in the Rancher setup can create clusters using the template.
|
|
|
|
### Sharing Ownership of Templates
|
|
|
|
If you are the creator of a template, you might want to delegate responsibility for maintaining and updating a template to another user or group.
|
|
|
|
In that case, you can give users the Owner access type, which allows another user to update your template, delete it, or share access to it with other users.
|
|
|
|
To give Owner access to a user or group,
|
|
|
|
1. In the upper left corner, click **☰ > Cluster Management**.
|
|
1. Under **RKE1 configuration**, click **RKE Templates**.
|
|
1. Go to the RKE template that you want to share and click the **⋮ > Edit**.
|
|
1. Under **Share Template**, click on **Add Member** and search in the **Name** field for the user or group you want to share the template with.
|
|
1. In the **Access Type** field, click **Owner**.
|
|
1. Click **Save**.
|
|
|
|
**Result:** The user or group has the Owner access type, and can modify, share, or delete the template. |
