Use case

Prevent clients from querying nodes that do not belong to their own namespace unless ACL allows it

Description

For example, there are two tenants, user1 and user2. When user1 uses tailscale status locally, he can only see the nodes in his own namespace.
But, If acl rule allow user1 to access some node of user2, then user1 can see those nodes when using 'tailscale status'.

@kradalby commented on GitHub (Feb 16, 2025):

No, this is not possible and documented in the tailscale docs.

If traffic is allowed to flow one way, then both needs to be in each others netmap.

This has been discussed multiple times before, please ask in discord or search the GitHub tracker.
