User Projects Limit

User projects limit

This setting controls how project creation will be handled by the Kubermatic. The administrator can control if regular users should be able to create projects. There is also an option to control maximum number of projects that regular users will be able to create. The User Projects Limit is controlled on a per-user basis and affects only non-admin users.

Resource Filter

Resource filter

Resource Filter settings provide an easy way to control the size of machines used to create user clusters. The administrator can also control if selection of instances with GPU should be possible. Every node size that does not match the specified criteria will be filtered out and not displayed to the user.

Static Labels

Static labels

Static labels are a list of labels that the admin can add. Users can select from these labels when creating a cluster during the cluster settings step. The admin can set these labels as either default or protected:

  • Default label: This label is automatically added, but the user can delete it.
  • Protected label: This label is automatically added and cannot be deleted by the user.

Annotation settings

Annotation settings

Annotation settings provide an easy way to control annotations that are shown and managed using KKP dashboard. KKP admins can configure the following:

  • Hidden annotations: These annotations will not be shown to the user.
  • Protected annotations: These annotations will be shown to the user but they will not be able to modify them.
