Add RBAC Roles to Local Users

Manage access to your cluster and its resources by assigning Kubernetes RBAC roles to local users. If you have not created local users yet, see Create Local Users after Installing Kommander or Create Local Users during the Kommander Installation.

Assign a Role - Cluster Admin Example

Create the following ClusterRoleBinding resource:

Replace <example_email> with the user's email address or a username.
Replace cluster-admin with the RBAC role you want to assign to a user.

CODE

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: cluster-admin
roleRef:
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: ClusterRole
  name: cluster-admin
subjects:
- apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
  kind: User
  name: <example_email>
EOF

After assigning the previous role to <example_email>, the user is able to log in to the cluster using the credentials you assigned in Create Local Users after Installing Kommander or Create Local Users during the Kommander Installation.

The Login page and cluster URL is the same for the default admin user and the local users you create with this method.
