The UI has a privacy page with a completely configurable content, suited for showing any policy/terms related information, like the Privacy Policy Statement or the Terms of Use.
The content is read from a ConfigMap. You need to configure the values in
ui.privacy.page to enable the feature and set the reference ConfigMap name and key.
Both ui.privacy.enabled and ui.privacy.page.enabled need to be true for
enabling the privacy page.
Note
If you don't set the ConfigMap name and key, a sample will be used instead. You can start from it as a template to create your customized ConfigMap.
The Markdown syntax is fully supported for the privacy page content.
Since RenkuLab requires user identification and implements a login system, cookies are required at all levels to provide basic functionality. Please mind that cookies are also used for anonymous users (i.e. without an account or not currently logged in). To comply with international laws, it's strongly advised to explicitly require consent to the user for storing these data and using cookies.
To activate this feature, please set ui.privacy.enabled: true. We have already configured a
default cookie banner to inform the users about the aforementioned requirements and points to
point them to the privacy page for further details.
It's possible to customize the banner to your own needs, changing both the appearance and the
content. We use cookie consent to
create the banner and we support customization of all the properties exposed by the library.
All the adjustments should be provided as values in ui.privacy.banner as follows:
content: the HTML content of the cookie banner. Please mind that links should point to local content. Use the privacy page to add references to third party sites.layout: the list of properties for the cookies consent plugin. We use Bootstrap for the UI, therefore all the Bootstrap classes can be used to customize the appearance.
You can refer to the current values.yaml in the renku-ui repository to check the default values and to find an example of how to apply different settings.
The UI can display a configurable message for logged in users on their dashboard page, suited for showing general information about Renku.
This feature can be enabled and configured by editing the values found in
ui.client.dashboardMessage. Set ui.client.dashboardMessage.enabled
to true to have the message displayed on the dashboard page.
The content and appearance of the message are configured by editing the other
values in ui.client.dashboardMessage:
text: the main message displayed on the dashboard page. It supports Markdown syntax.additionalText: the additional message which users can read by clicking "Read more" button right below the main message.style: the appearance of the card used to display the dashboard message. Allowed values are: "plain", "success", "info", "warning" and "danger".dismissible: if it is set totrue, users can dismiss the message and hide it until the tab is closed or refreshed.
An example configuration can be found in values.yaml in the renku-ui repository.
