Access the kcp admin workspace

Use the local setup admin kubeconfig when you need full visibility into the kcp workspaces in a local Platform Mesh instance.

Admin access

The admin kubeconfig is for platform administrators. It is not a consumer or provider workspace credential.

Set the kubeconfig

Run this from the local-setup directory of the platform-mesh/helm-charts repository:

export KUBECONFIG=$(pwd)/.secret/kcp/admin.kubeconfig

List workspaces

kubectl get workspaces

Switch workspaces

kubectl kcp workspace use <workspace-name>

This gives access to the root workspace and organization management objects.
