in order to make a high availability test in kubernetes cluster, i use a tool such as chaoskube or kube-monkey , which kills random pods in namespaces to create a "chaos" and to see how the system and applications will react.
by default these tools need a cluster role, in order to let its service account to list/kill pods for all namespaces in cluster.
in my situation i want to install this tool and make the test just in one namespace (namespace x)
is there any way to restrict the permissions of the service account just to give it the permissions to list/kill pods from (namespace x) and the whole cluster ?
i already tried to create a role & rolebinding in (namespace x) but still have the same RBAC error, as the service account expects to have the cluster permissions :
"pods is forbidden: User \"system:serviceaccount:x:chaoskube-sa\" cannot list resource \"pods\" in API group \"\ at the cluster scope"
update: role & rolebinding
this is the default permissions for its service account:
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
name: chaoskube-role
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["pods"]
verbs: ["list", "delete"]
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["events"]
verbs: ["create"]
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: chaoskube-rolebinding
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: chaoskube-role
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: chaoskube-sa
namespace: x
with these configration it works fine.
now with restricted permissions for a specific namespace :
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
name: chaoskube-role
namespace: x
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["pods"]
verbs: ["list", "delete"]
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["events"]
verbs: ["create"]
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
name: chaoskube-rolebinding
namespace: x
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: Role
name: chaoskube-role
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: chaoskube-sa
namespace: x
it can not list the pods , and i receive the RBAC error.

In my scenario user has access to four namespaces only, he will switch between namespaces using contexts below. How can I give him access to CRD's along with his exiting access to four namespaces.

Tried below two options. Option 2 is the recommendation but didn't work with either one.
Error from server (Forbidden): customresourcedefinitions.apiextensions.k8s.io is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:dev-crd-ns:dev-crd-ns-user" cannot list resource "customresourcedefinitions" in API group "apiextensions.k8s.io" at the **cluster scope**
Option 1: Adding CRD to existing role

role binding

kind: RoleBinding

subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: dev-crd-ns-user

Option 2 : Adding CRD as a new role to "dev-crd-ns" namespace
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
namespace: dev-crd-ns
name: crd-admin
rules:
- apiGroups: ["apiextensions.k8s.io"]
resources: ["customresourcedefinitions"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch", "create", "update", "patch", "delete"]
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:

roleRef:
kind: Role
name: crd-admin
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
You need to create Role and RoleBinding for each service account like dev-crd-ns-user.
For dev-crd-ns-user:
Update the existing Role or create a new one:
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
namespace: dev-crd-ns
name: crd-admin
rules:
- apiGroups: ["apiextensions.k8s.io"]
resources: ["customresourcedefinitions"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch", "create", "update", "patch", "delete"]
$ kubectl apply -f crd-admin-role.yaml
Update the existing RoleBinding with this new Role or create a new one:
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
name: crd-admin
namespace: dev-crd-ns
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: dev-crd-ns-user
namespace: dev-crd-ns
roleRef:
kind: Role
name: crd-admin
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
$ kubectl apply -f crd-admin-role-binding.yaml
Now, the SA dev-crd-ns-user will have all the access to customresourcedefinitions.
Follow similar steps for the rest of the service accounts.
hi everyone i am using GKE and i am trying use RBAC and restrict other user to a specific namespace.
here is my RBAC policy
apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
name: team-1
---
kind: Role
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
namespace: team-1
name: team_1-rw
rules:
- apiGroups: ["extensions", "apps"]
resources: ["deployments"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch", "create", "update", "patch", "delete"]
---
kind: RoleBinding
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
namespace: team-1
name: team_1-binding
subjects:
- kind: User
name: abc#example.com
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
roleRef:
kind: Role
name: team_1-rw
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
after applying this policy when try to login from user id and do kubectl get deployments , it does not restrict me to check deployments in the default namespace.it should only work for me team-1 namespace but it gives unlimited access to other namespaces aswell Also i have given the user kubernetes engine viewer permission in IAM
I am seeing this error for user jenkins when deploying.

Any advice?
Without a namespace (in the ServiceAccount creation) you will automatically create it in the default namespace. The same with a Role (which is always a one-namespace resource).
What you need to do is to create a ClusterRole with the correct permissions (basically just change your role into a ClusterRole) and then set the correct namespace either on the ServiceAccount resource or in the ClusterRole binding.
You can also skip creating the Role and RoleBinding, as the ClusterRole and ClusterRoleBinding will override it either way.

With that said. It's always good practice to create a specific ServiceAccount and RoleBinding per namespace when it comes to deploys, so that you don't accidently create an admin account which is used in a remote CI tool like... Jenkins ;)
I have couple of namespaces - assume NS1 and NS2. I have serviceaccounts created in those - sa1 in NS1 and sa2 in NS2. I have created roles and rolebindings for sa1 to do stuff within NS1 and sa2 within NS2.
What I want is give sa1 certain access within NS2 (say only Pod Reader role).
I am wondering if that's possible or not?
You can simply reference a ServiceAccount from another namespace in the RoleBinding:
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Role
metadata:
name: pod-reader
namespace: ns2
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["pods"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
name: pod-reader-from-ns1
namespace: ns2
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: Role
name: pod-reader
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: ns1-service-account
namespace: ns1
I'm trying to create a read only user. I want the user to be able to list nodes and pods and view the dashboard. I got the certs created and can connect but I'm getting the following error.
$ kubectl --context minikube-ro get pods --all-namespaces
Error from server (Forbidden): pods is forbidden: User "erst-operation" cannot list pods at the cluster scope

$ cat helm/namespace-core/templates/pod-reader-role-binding.yaml

I'm aware the above shouldn't grant permissions to see the dashboard but how do I get it to just list the pods?
You cluster role should contain Core group as resource pods are in Core group.
kind: ClusterRole
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
namespace: '*'
name: pod-reader
rules:
- apiGroups: ["extensions", "apps", ""]
resources: ["pods"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
