Welcome to the Permission Manager! 🎉 🎉
Permission Manager is an application developed by SIGHUP that enables a super-easy and user-friendly RBAC management for Kubernetes. If you are looking for a simple and intuitive way of managing your users within a Kubernetes cluster, this is the right place.
With Permission Manager, you can create users, assign namespaces/permissions, and distribute Kubeconfig YAML files via a nice&easy web UI.
To deploy and run the Permission Manager on your cluster, follow the installation guide

The application allows us to define and select permission standard templates (those defining who can do what, within a namespace or globally) and associate them with all the users you might want to create.
The template system is an abstraction over Cluster-Roles, RoleBinding, and ClusterRolesBindigs.
A template is a ClusterRole with a prefix
template-namespaced-resources___
for example
template-namespaced-resources___developer
When we started the development of this project, a template was one-to-one to a clusterrole, the usage of a CRD looked overkill. This will obviously change in future to avoid polluting clusterroles and will allow us to have a more precise encapsulation of what is owned by the permission manager.
Create a clusterrole starting with template-namespaced-resources___ and apply it.
developer and operation default templates are located at deployments/kubernetes/seeds/seed.yml
A user is a custom resource of kind permissionmanagerusers.permissionmanager.user
