Examples

Actions Rancher API spec

From the spec

"Actions perform an operation on a resource and (optionally) return a result."

To perform the setpodsecuritypolicytemplate action on a project object these are the steps.

This first method has built-in retry logic inside of client.action() when the error returned is 409

#creates a project and handles cleanup
project =  admin_pc.project 
# create an api_client from a management context
api_client = admin_mc.client
# perform the action via the client api
api_client.action(obj=project, action_name="setpodsecuritypolicytemplate",
                    podSecurityTemplateId=pspt.id)

Or alternatively, performing the action from the project context (which does not have built-in retry logic)

project = api_client.create_project(name="test-project", clusterId="local")
project.setpodsecuritypolicytemplate(podSecurityPolicyTemplateId="my-pspt")
