  description: This is an example role.
spec:
  # options specify connection, in case if user has multiple non-default
  # conflicting options, teleport chooses the least permissive value.
  options:
    # max_session_ttl defines the TTL (time to live) of certificates
    # issued to the users with this role.
    max_session_ttl: 8h
    # forward_agent controls whether SSH agent forwarding is allowed
    forward_agent: true
    # port_forwarding controls whether TCP port forwarding is allowed for SSH
    port_forwarding: true
    # ssh_file_copy controls whether file copying (SCP/SFTP) is allowed.
    # Defaults to true.
    ssh_file_copy: false
    # client_idle_timeout determines if SSH sessions to cluster nodes are
    # forcefully terminated after no activity from a client (idle client).
    # it overrides the global cluster setting. examples: '30m', '1h' or '1h30m'
    client_idle_timeout: never
    # Determines if the clients will be forcefully disconnected when their
    # certificates expire in the middle of an active session.
    # It overrides the global cluster setting.
    disconnect_expired_cert: no
    # max_sessions is the total number of session channels that can be established
    # across a single connection. Setting it to 10 matches OpenSSH default behavior.
    # (enterprise-only)
    max_sessions: 10
    # Defines which events are recorded by the BPF-based session recorder.
    enhanced_recording:
    - command
    - disk

    # permit_x11_forwarding allows users to use X11 forwarding with openssh
    # clients and servers through the proxy
    permit_x11_forwarding: true
    # device_trust_mode enforces authenticated device access for assigned user of this role.
    device_trust_mode: optional|required|off
    # require_session_mfa require per-session MFA for any assigned user of this role
    require_session_mfa: true
    # mfa_verification_interval optionally defines the maximum duration that can elapse between successive MFA verifications.
    # This variable is used to ensure that users are periodically prompted to verify their identity, enhancing
    # security by preventing prolonged sessions without re-authentication when using tsh proxy * derivatives.
    mfa_verification_interval: 1h
    # lock sets locking mode for user of this role,
    # valid values are 'strict' or 'best_effort'
    lock: strict
    # enterprise-only request_access field is 'optional', 'always' or 'reason'. If set to always or reason,

    # set to 'reason', the user will be required to indicate why they are
    # generating the Access Request.
    request_access: reason
    # the 'request_prompt' field can be used to tell the user what should
    # be supplied in the request reason field.
    request_prompt: Please provide your ticket ID
    # enterprise-only max_connections field sets a limit of concurrent sessions within a

    # connections cluster-wide.

    # Define how Teleport deals with session recording failures, such as a full
    # disk error. The value can be set to either 'best_effort' or 'strict'. If
    # set to 'strict', the session will terminate immediately. If set to
    # 'best_effort', the session won’t be terminated, and the recording will be
    # disabled. The configuration is done per service (currently, only 'ssh' is
    # supported).
    record_session:
      # Specify whether or not to record the user's desktop sessions.
      # Desktop session recording is enabled if one or more of the user's

    # Specify whether clipboard sharing should be allowed with the

    # if unspecified. If one or more of the user's roles has disabled
    # the clipboard, then it will be disabled.
    desktop_clipboard: true
    # Specify whether directory sharing should be allowed from the

    # directory sharing, then it will be disabled.
    desktop_directory_sharing: true

    # certificates, preventing a compromised certificate from being used on another
    # network. The default is false.

    # Specify a list of names and associated values to be included in user SSH keys.

      # This example leverages Teleport's regular expression support, which allows
      # for dynamic mapping from claims. The below mapping says that users with
      # claims that match 'projects: product-(.*)' can request roles that match
      # '$1-admin', where '$1' is the first capture group in the
      # regular expression.
      # Example: the 'projects: product-foo' claim allows a user to request the
      # 'foo-admin' role
      claims_to_roles:
        - claim: 'projects'
          # matches all group names with a leading 'product-'
