Using Kubernetes' built-in RBAC policy management objects lets you enable access that's needed for operational and development tasks in your clusters. Knowing how to design policies can help limit the impact of issues, providing the confidence to let users do more on their own.

In the next chapter, Chapter 7, Deploying a Secured Kubernetes Dashboard, we'll be learning about how to secure the Kubernetes dashboard, as well as how to approach security for other infrastructure applications that make up your cluster. You'll learn how to apply what we've learned...
