Known Issues

No Projects are Listed

No projects are listed and you also see the entry No permission to list projects. Specify the projects in the extension configuration.

Reason: Most likely you have downloaded the kubeconfig of a service account in the Members section of your project in the gardener dashboard. This account does not have the permission to list projects.

Solution: Specify the list of projects that you want to see (and have access to) by setting the projects property of your landscape in the Extension Settings.
