Confluent Resource Names (CRNs)¶

Confluent Resource Names (CRNs) provide a uniform way to uniquely identify resources such as a Kafka cluster, topic, or consumer group, and are used in audit logs.

Each CRN is a uniform resource identifier (URI) that uniquely identifies the associated Confluent resource and is prefixed with crn://.

In the CRN:

crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/environment=env-pqr45/cloud-cluster=lkc-a1b2c/kafka=lkc-a1b2c

Interpret the content as follows:

An authorization event occurred in Kafka cluster kafka=lkc-a1b2c
The Kafka cluster is in the environment environment=env-pqr45
The environment is in the organization organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c

The following CRNs identify some of the most commonly-used Confluent Cloud resources.

Cluster Resource CRN

This CRN identifies the Kafka cluster.

Example:

crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/environment=env-pqr45/cloud-cluster=lkc-a1b2c/kafka=lkc-a1b2c
crn://confluent.cloud/kafka=lkc-a1b2c

Topic CRN

This CRN identifies Confluent Cloud topics.

Example:

crn://confluent.cloud/kafka=lkc-a1b2c/topic=my-topic

Service Account CRN

This CRN identifies Confluent Cloud service accounts.

Examples:

crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/service-account=sa-ymnkzp
crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/service-account=sa-x8y9z0
crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/service-account=%2A

Schema Registry CRN

This CRN identifies a Confluent Cloud Schema Registry.

Example:

crn://confluent.cloud/organization=fc5ba16d-661d-474c-85df-c2a1ed26032c/environment=env-pqr45/schema-registry=lsrc-m1n2o
