Yes, Apollo not only supports access control and configuration encryption but also treats these two features as core functionalities. For instance, it can be configured to allow only project members to view the configurations of private Namespaces in specific environments.
Project members specifically refer to:
1.Project administrators
2.Users with modification or release permissions for that private Namespace in the corresponding environment.
Permissions are strictly bound to projects and environments, with clear role definitions: administrators, modifiers, and publishers. Each role is assigned specific permissions to ensure environmental stability.
For sensitive information such as database passwords and API keys, Apollo provides an encryption mechanism. In practice, when a user marks a configuration item as "encrypted" in the management interface, Apollo immediately stores the information as ciphertext. During application client startup, the system automatically decrypts the ciphertext in memory, allowing business code to directly obtain the usable plaintext.
This design ensures security across two critical phases—storage and transmission—keeping sensitive information protected throughout the entire process. For developers, architects, operations engineers, and security teams, understanding whether Apollo supports access control and configuration encryption, as well as its specific implementation, is crucial. This goes beyond merely learning about a "feature"; it directly impacts the stability of production environments, data security protection, and the efficiency and standardization of team collaboration.
