Dell Technologies (Dell) Container Storage Modules (CSM) for Authorization v1.x GA. | ||
tags: | ||

|
||
The following diagram shows a high-level overview of CSM for Authorization with a `tenant-app` that is using a CSI driver to perform storage operations through the CSM for Authorization `proxy-server` to access the a Dell storage system. All requests from the CSI driver will contain the token for the given tenant that was granted by the Storage Administrator. | ||

## CSM for Authorization Capabilities | ||
{{<table "table table-striped table-bordered table-sm">}} | ||
| Feature | PowerFlex | PowerMax | PowerScale | Unity XT | PowerStore | | ||
| - | - | - | - | - | - | | ||
| Ability to set storage quota limits to ensure k8s tenants are not overconsuming storage | Yes | Yes | No (natively supported) | No | No | | ||
| Ability to create access control policies to ensure k8s tenant clusters are not accessing storage that does not belong to them | Yes | Yes | No (natively supported) | No | No | | ||
| Ability to shield storage credentials from Kubernetes administrators ensuring credentials are only handled by storage admins | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | No | | ||

|
||
**NOTE:** PowerScale OneFS implements its own form of Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). CSM for Authorization does not enforce any role-based restrictions for PowerScale. To configure RBAC for PowerScale, refer to the PowerScale OneFS [documentation](https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/product-support/product/isilon-onefs/docs). | ||
|
||
## Authorization Components Support Matrix | ||
CSM for Authorization consists of 2 components - The authorization sidecar, bundled with the driver, communicates with the Authorization proxy server to validate access to Storage platforms. The authorization sidecar is backward compatible with older Authorization proxy server versions. However, it is highly recommended to have the Authorization proxy server and sidecar installed from the same release of CSM. | ||
|
||
**NOTE:** If the deployed CSI driver has a number of controller pods equal to the number of schedulable nodes in your cluster, CSM for Authorization may not be able to inject properly into the driver's controller pod. | ||
To resolve this, please refer to our [troubleshooting guide](./troubleshooting) on the topic. | ||
|
||
## Roles and Responsibilities | ||
|
||
The CSM for Authorization CLI can be executed in the context of the following roles: | ||
- Storage Administrators | ||
- Kubernetes Tenant Administrators | ||
|
||
### Storage Administrators | ||
|
||
Storage Administrators can perform the following operations within CSM for Authorization | ||
|
||
- Tenant Management (create, get, list, delete, bind roles, unbind roles) | ||
- Token Management (generate, revoke) | ||
- Storage System Management (create, get, list, update, delete) | ||
- Storage Access Roles Management (assign to a storage system with an optional quota) | ||
|
||
### Tenant Administrators | ||
|
||
Tenants of CSM for Authorization can use the token provided by the Storage Administrators in their storage requests. | ||
|
||
### Workflow | ||
|
||
1) Tenant Admin requests storage from a Storage Admin. | ||
2) Storage Admin uses CSM Authorization CLI to:<br> | ||
a) Create a tenant resource.<br> | ||
b) Create a role permitting desired storage access.<br> | ||
c) Assign the role to the tenant and generate a token.<br> | ||
3) Storage Admin returns a token to the Tenant Admin. | ||
4) Tenant Admin inputs the Token into their Kubernetes cluster as a Secret. | ||
5) Tenant Admin updates CSI driver with CSM Authorization sidecar module. | ||
