:Create a custom Kubernetes ClusterRole or Role

Introduction to Roles and ClusterRoles

You can create a Role or ClusterRole by using a YAML file or the Alibaba Cloud Container Compute Service (ACS) console.

Create a Role

To define permissions scoped to a namespace, create a Role.

You can use the following YAML file to create Role that defines permissions on pods in the default namespace.

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
  name: test-role
  namespace: default
rules:
- apiGroups:
  - ""
  resources:
  - pods
  verbs:
  - create
  - delete
  - deletecollection
  - get
  - list
  - patch
  - update
  - watch

Create a ClusterRole

To define cluster-wide permissions, create a ClusterRole.

You can use the following YAML file to create ClusterRole that defines permissions on pods in a namespace.

apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
  name: test-clusterrole
rules:
- apiGroups:
  - ""
  resources:
  - pods
  verbs:
  - create
  - delete
  - deletecollection
  - get
  - list
  - patch
  - update
  - watch

Create a custom role

1. Log on to the ACS console. In the left-side navigation pane, click Clusters.

2. On the Clusters page, click the name of the cluster. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Security > Role.

3. On the Role page, click the Cluster Role tab and click Create.

4. In the Create YAML panel, enter the YAML content of the ClusterRole and click OK.

   The YAML template in this example defines cluster-wide permissions. After the ClusterRole is created, you can view the ClusterRole named test-clusterrole on the Cluster Role tab.
