Use the local setup admin kubeconfig when you need full visibility into the kcp workspaces in a local Platform Mesh instance.
::: tip Admin access The admin kubeconfig is for platform administrators. It is not a consumer or provider workspace credential. :::
Run this from the local-setup directory of the platform-mesh/helm-charts repository:
export KUBECONFIG=$(pwd)/.secret/kcp/admin.kubeconfig
kubectl get workspaces
kubectl kcp workspace use <workspace-name>
This gives access to the root workspace and organization management objects.
