The Account Cache

When adding accounts to Kion, you can add them to a project or the account cache. Adding accounts to the Account Cache is useful if you want to preload your accounts and attach them to projects later on. However, to access accounts through Kion, they must be attached to a project.

In order to add an account to a project, you must have the Project Manage Accounts permission. 

To attach an account in the account cache to a project:

  1. Navigate to Accounts > All Accounts.
  2. Select the Cache tab.
  3. Click the ellipsis menu next to the account and select Attach to project.
  4. Select the project you want to attach the account to.
  5. Select a start date. This is the date the account will become accessible from the project.
  6. Click OK.

Any cloud rules and cloud access roles applied to the new parent project are applied to the account. You can now federate into this account using cloud access roles.

To move an account to the account cache:

  1. Navigate to Accounts > All Accounts.
  2. Click the ellipsis menu next to the account and select Add to cache.
  3. Click Revert.

Any cloud rules and cloud access roles that were applied by the parent project are removed from the account. You cannot federate into this account through Kion until it is added to another project.
