Role

As explained in Kubernetes for Developers

A Kubernetes Role is a namespace-scoped object that defines permissions for API groups, resources, and verbs.

How Kubernetes for Developers covers it

How deep it goes

Explains namespace scope, permission rules, bindings, and cluster-level counterparts through deployable YAML and command results.

Examples

Uses a team1 developer Role, user binding, deployment attempts, and forbidden namespace and cluster-resource operations.

What it assumes

Assumes users, namespaces, API resources, and kubectl while explaining RBAC objects and permission structure.

What you can do after

Operate/configure namespace permissions with Role YAML, RoleBinding, and kubectl.

How it connects

Connects Role to RBAC, RoleBinding, ClusterRole, ClusterRoleBinding, namespaces, and Pod Security admission.
