The cluster administrator role enables you to view the cluster inventory, capacity, general and specific utilization information, and the stream of important events, all of which help you to simplify planning and troubleshooting tasks. Both project administrators and cluster administrators can use all features in the web console.
Cluster administrators can also open an embedded command-line terminal instance with the web terminal Operator in {product-title} 4.7 and later.
The Administrator perspective provides workflows specific to administrator use cases, such as the ability to:
-
Manage workload, storage, networking, and cluster settings.
-
Install and manage Operators using the software catalog.
