# Integrate with Self-Managed Kubernetes

## Overview

With a connector installed on your Kubernetes platform, the next step is setting permissions for Apono to manage access control.

## Prerequisites

* Cluster admin access to the cluster you'd like to integrate
* Helm
* An Apono [Kubernetes connector](/docs/kubernetes-environment/apono-connector-for-kubernetes.md)

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note! If you installed the Apono connector on the cluster, there is no need to provide the secret in the Add Integration form in the UI.

The connector already handles the secret ;)
{% endhint %}

## Integrate Apono with Kubernetes

### Select a Connector

1. Select **Kubernetes** from the Catalog.
2. On the next page, select an existing connector from the drop-down list.
3. Click **Next** to view the Kubernetes integration form.

### Integration Form

1. Name the integration.
2. Enter the following Kubernetes parameters, which can be found with kubectl:

* Cluster Name

3. Secret
   1. If you installed the Apono connector on the cluster, leave this empty. Otherwise:

* With a GCP secret manager:
  * Project
  * Secret ID
* With Kubernetes secret manager:
  * Namespace
  * Secret Name
* With an Azure secret manager:
  * Vault URL
  * Secret Name

## Results

Integration of Apono with self-managed Kubernetes is now complete.

## Next Steps

1. Manage [users](https://app.apono.io/settings#/admin-box/users) and groups. If you have and IdP set up, for example Okta or Azure AD, you may want to integrate Apono in order to sync users and groups.
2. You can now control access to this resource by defining [Access Flows](https://app.apono.io/access-flows).
3. Make it easy for your users to request access by integrating your [Slack](https://app.apono.io/catalog/add-integration/slack) or Teams organization with Apono.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.apono.io/docs/kubernetes-environment/kubernetes-integrations/integrate-with-self-managed-kubernetes.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
