I have a service account, in the default namespace, with a clusterRoleBinding to a clusterRole that can observe jobs.
I wish to use this service account in any namespace rather than have to define a new service account in each new namespace. The service account is used by an init container to check a job has completed before allowing deployment to continue.
Not sure what extra info I need to provide but will do so on request.
You can simply reference a ServiceAccount from another namespace in the RoleBinding:
For example, below is sample use to refer the service account in one namespace to another for just reading the pods.
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Role
metadata:
name: pod-reader
namespace: ns2
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["pods"]
verbs: ["get", "list", "watch"]
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
name: pod-reader-from-ns1
namespace: ns2
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: Role
name: pod-reader
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: ns1-service-account
namespace: ns1
