Persona: CoE Admin

Summary

The CoE Admin manages clusters at the organisation level — updating, adding, deleting, or adjusting which workspaces they are assigned to. This can be done from two entry points.

Steps

Via Organisation → Clusters

  1. Navigate to Clusters — CoE Admin opens the Clusters page and reviews the list of available clusters.
  2. Update cluster to newer version — If a cluster needs to be updated to a new version:
    • Opens the cluster and performs the version update.
    • Reviews workspaces currently assigned to the cluster.
    • Updates assignments as needed (adds or removes workspaces).
    • Workspace members with Workspace Admin and Editor roles are notified about the assignment change.
  3. Add a new cluster — If a new cluster needs to be provisioned:
    • SaaS: Creates the cluster in the Hub.
    • Self-Managed: Goes through the internal provisioning process, then registers the cluster in the Hub.
    • After creation or registration, assigns it to the relevant workspaces.
    • Workspace members (Workspace Admin and Editor roles) are notified.
  4. Delete a cluster — If a cluster needs to be removed:
    • Initiates deletion from the Hub.
    • The system informs CoE Admin about workspaces currently associated with the cluster.
    • CoE Admin confirms the deletion.
    • Workspace members (Workspace Admin and Editor roles) are notified.
    • CoE Admin reviews whether any assignments need to be resolved.

Via Organisation → Workspaces

  1. Navigate to Workspaces — CoE Admin navigates to the Workspaces page and reviews the workspace list.
  2. Navigate to workspace clusters — Opens a workspace management view and goes to its clusters.
  3. Updates cluster assignments — Adds or removes clusters assigned to that workspace.
  4. Automatic notifications to workspace members — Workspace members (with Workspace Admin and Editor roles) are notified about the change. Users with Commenter and Viewer roles are not notified.
