After you publish a service in Compute Nest, you can configure a customer whitelist to restrict which customers can access the deployment URL and control whether they can deploy service instances.
How it works
Compute Nest uses the customer whitelist to control access to your service deployments. Each whitelist entry grants a customer one of two permission levels:
| Permission level | What the customer can do |
|---|---|
| Accessible | View the service deployment page but cannot create service instances. |
| Accessible and Deployable | View the service deployment page and create service instances. |
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure that you have:
A published service in Compute Nest
The UID (Account ID) of each Alibaba Cloud account to add to the whitelist
Configure the customer whitelist
Log on to the Compute Nest console.
In the left-side navigation pane, click My Services.
On the Created Services tab, find and click the target service name.
On the Service Details tab, locate the Service Deployment section.
Click Customer Whitelist.
In the Customer Whitelist dialog box, click Add Permissions.
In the Account ID field, enter the UID of the customer's Alibaba Cloud account.
In the Version column, select a version scope:
Official Versions Only: Grant access to officially released versions only.
All Versions (Including Beta Version): Grant access to all versions, including pre-release beta versions.
In the Permissions column, select the permissions to grant:
The Access checkbox is selected by default and cannot be cleared.
Select the Deploy checkbox to allow the customer to create service instances.
Click Complete to save the whitelist entry.
Click Close.
Verify the result
After you configure the whitelist, confirm that the correct accounts and permissions are listed:
In the Service Deployment section, click Customer Whitelist.
In the Customer Whitelist dialog box, check that each account has the expected permission level.
Manage whitelist entries
To update or revoke access, open the Customer Whitelist dialog box and find the target account:
To change a customer's permission level, click Change Permissions in the Actions column, modify the settings, and then click Complete.
To revoke access, click Remove in the Actions column, and then click OK in the confirmation dialog box.
