03/29/2023, 4:56 PMis it possible to run a read only FlyteAdmin replica (i.e drop all write requests, do not schedule runs) without patching the server?

03/29/2023, 5:10 PMflyteadmin is stateless, so you can start two flyteadmins in the same time. why do you need to drop write requests in other admin servers?

at the service level it is not possible, you can make database have readonly replicas

why do you need to drop write requests in other admin servers?We want everyone in the team to be able to view the dashboards but only on-callers or specific users to have write access (such as scheduling a workflow, triggering an ad-hoc workflow run, etc). Essentially, a coarse version of RBAC

Also @Srinivas Venkattaramanujam do not really understand what you are trying to do - are you trying to implement a cheap RBAC 😛

(we looked into union.ai/cloud but we could not find the pricing info so decided to look into at a later time)
