services / Kubernetes / Roles

A role is a set of permissions that defines a specific level of access to resources within a single namespace. It consists of rules that specify which API operations can be performed on specific resource types. Roles are scoped to a specific Kubernetes namespace.

Roles are only definitions of permissions. A role does not take effect unless assigned to principal via a RoleBinding.
