About the task

Procedure

1. In the navigation bar, select Library, select the Applications tab. The application list is displayed.

Scenarios

• You can set or change a single or multiple valid namespaces to an application. The valid namespaces are those which the user has access to.
• An application with multiple namespaces can be deployed only in any of the user accessible namespaces to which an application belongs.
  • Example: An application A belongs to namespaces N1, N2, and N3. User U has access to N2, N3, N4. Allowed namespaces for deployment are N2 and N3.
• For an application, removal (multiple namespaces), change (single namespace) or add (Global to single or multiple namespaces) is allowed if the namespace of the associated application instance is present in the new namespace list.
  • Example 1: If an application A1 (globally accessible) is deployed in namespaces N1 and N2 (one application instance in N1 and one in N2) then we can allow to update the namespaces of A1 only if it includes N1 and N2. That is, A1 can be updated to N1 and N2 but not to N2 and N3.
  • Example 2: If an application instance AI of an application A is deployed in namespace N2, then application A is not allowed to change namespaces from N1, N2, and N3 to N1 and N3, removing N2 until an application instance AI is deleted.
