Steps to set up RBAC for a user in the dev namespace

1) Apply the manifests from this folder

kubectl apply -f .

Test the setup

kubectl auth can-i get pods --as=system:serviceaccount:dev:dev-user --namespace=dev

kubectl auth can-i get deployment --as=system:serviceaccount:dev:dev-user --namespace=dev

2) Create token for the service account (note -n dev)

kubectl create token dev-user -n dev

3) Set credentials using that token

kubectl config set-credentials dev-user --token=$(kubectl create token dev-user -n dev)

4) Create a context that uses the correct cluster, user, and namespace

kubectl config set-context dev-user-context \
  --cluster=$(kubectl config view --minify -o jsonpath='{.clusters[0].name}') \
  --user=dev-user --namespace=dev

5) Use the context

kubectl config use-context dev-user-context

6) Verify access

kubectl auth can-i get pods
kubectl auth can-i get deployments
kubectl get pods
kubectl get deployments
