If you want to provide a user with access and permissions to all projects, nodes, and resources within a cluster, assign the user a cluster membership.

Tip: Want to provide a user with access to a specific project within a cluster? See Adding Project Members instead.

There are two contexts where you can add cluster members:

• Adding Members to a New Cluster

  You can add members to a cluster as you create it (recommended if possible).

• Adding Members to an Existing Cluster

  You can always add members to a cluster after a cluster is provisioned.
