Switching between scopes

In Kaspersky Container Security, several scopes can be assigned to a role. You can view the list of available scopes or switch scopes in order to access resources available in a different scope.

When switching between scopes, bear in mind the following:

  • If you select the scope with resources by registry, in the section ResourcesAssetsClusters, Kaspersky Container Security does not display a list of clusters, namespaces, and pods. A full visual representation of the links between resources is displayed, but you cannot view information about an object that is outside of the available scope.
  • Select the scope with resources by cluster, in the ResourcesAssetsRegistries section. Kaspersky Container Security then displays a list of the images used to start the containers in clusters.
  • In the Scanners section, you can view lists of all scanners and scan tasks. However, you will not be able to view information about a scanned object if it is not within a scope that is available to you.
  • In the ComplianceCIS Kubernetes benchmarks section, Kaspersky Container Security displays a list of all nodes within clusters in the scope, regardless of the level of cluster detail in the scope. However, you cannot view information about a cluster node if it is not within a scope that is available to you.
  • In the Policies section, Kaspersky Container Security shows the following:
    1. All policies in which at least one of the author's roles matches your role.
    2. All policies in which at least one scope matches the scope you selected.
    3. All policies that are linked to scopes assigned to your roles. However, you cannot delete these policies or edit their settings.

To switch the scope:

  1. Go to one of the following sections:
    • ResourcesAssetsClusters.
    • ResourcesAssetsRegistries.
    • ComplianceCIS Kubernetes benchmarks.
    • Subsections of the Policies section: Scanner policies, Assurance policies, Response policies, or Runtime policies.
  2. In the drop-down list of available scopes in the upper right part of the window, select the required scope.

    You can also activate all the scopes by selecting All in the list.
