Identity

Overview

A ResourceClaim requests quota allocation when a resource is created. Each claim consumes quota capacity from the matching AllowanceBucket and links back to the resource that triggered it, so quota usage can be tracked, audited, and cleaned up over its lifecycle. Most claims are created automatically by a ClaimCreationPolicy during admission, but administrators can also create them by hand for testing or special allocation scenarios. All requests in a single claim are evaluated atomically: either every request has sufficient quota and the whole claim is granted, or any shortage denies the entire claim. Once granted, a claim reserves the requested amounts until it is deleted.
