AccessEntry
An access entry allows an IAM principal (user or role) to access your cluster. Access entries can replace the need to maintain the aws-auth``ConfigMap
for authentication. For more information about access entries, see Access entries in the Amazon EKS User Guide.
Types
Properties
The ARN of the access entry.
The name of your cluster.
A name
that you've specified in a Kubernetes RoleBinding
or ClusterRoleBinding
object so that Kubernetes authorizes the principalARN
access to cluster objects.
The Unix epoch timestamp for the last modification to the object.
The ARN of the IAM principal for the access entry. If you ever delete the IAM principal with this ARN, the access entry isn't automatically deleted. We recommend that you delete the access entry with an ARN for an IAM principal that you delete. If you don't delete the access entry and ever recreate the IAM principal, even if it has the same ARN, the access entry won't work. This is because even though the ARN is the same for the recreated IAM principal, the roleID
or userID
(you can see this with the Security Token Service GetCallerIdentity
API) is different for the recreated IAM principal than it was for the original IAM principal. Even though you don't see the IAM principal's roleID
or userID
for an access entry, Amazon EKS stores it with the access entry.
