Carolina CloudApps: Unified Console Changes

Summary

This document will walk through the web console changes that incurred due to Unified console.

Body

Beginning with OpenShift 4,19, the web console UI has changed. The Administrative/Developer perspective switching menu which used to be on the top-left corner has been removed. Instead, a single unified view is now offered. 

 

New Web Console

Your new Web console would look something like this:

 

Web Console Changes

Menu Developer UI (old) Unified  UI (new)
Software Catalog 'Developer' Perspective > +Add

This option is gone.

The catalog for creating applications can be seen under 'Ecosystem' > 'Software Catalog'.

Topology 'Developer' Perspective >Topology Topology can be viewed under 'Workloads' > 'Topology'.
Project 'Developer' Perspective > Project Your projects can be viewed under 'Home' > 'Projects'.
Project Access 'Developer' Perspective > Project> Project Access

There is no direct 'Project Access' menu. Instead, use the command line interface (CLI). 

The existing project admin will be able to add/edit access.

To add a user:

oc adm policy add-role-to-user <role> <user> -n <projectname>

  • Replace <role> with the desired role (admin, edit, or view).
  • Replace <user> with the user's onyen.
  • Replace <projectname> with the name of the project.

To verify user access:

oc get rolebindings -n <projectname>

Observe 'Developer' Perspective > Observe You can find 'Observe' in the main menu.
