Check whether an action is allowed
Check whether an action is allowed.
VERB is a logical Kubernetes API verb like 'get', 'list', 'watch', 'delete', etc. TYPE is a Kubernetes resource. Shortcuts and groups will be resolved. NONRESOURCEURL is a partial URL that starts with "/". NAME is the name of a particular Kubernetes resource. This command pairs nicely with impersonation. See --as global flag.
ergo kubectl auth can-i VERB [TYPE | TYPE/NAME | NONRESOURCEURL]
# Check to see if I can create pods in any namespace
kubectl auth can-i create pods --all-namespaces
# Check to see if I can list deployments in my current namespace
kubectl auth can-i list deployments.apps
# Check to see if I can do everything in my current namespace ("*" means all)
kubectl auth can-i '*' '*'
# Check to see if I can get the job named "bar" in namespace "foo"
kubectl auth can-i list jobs.batch/bar -n foo
# Check to see if I can read pod logs
kubectl auth can-i get pods --subresource=log
# Check to see if I can access the URL /logs/
kubectl auth can-i get /logs/
# List all allowed actions in namespace "foo"
kubectl auth can-i --list --namespace=foo
-A, --all-namespaces If true, check the specified action in all namespaces.
-h, --help help for can-i
--list If true, prints all allowed actions.
--no-headers If true, prints allowed actions without headers
-q, --quiet If true, suppress output and just return the exit code.
--subresource string SubResource such as pod/log or deployment/scale
--as string Username to impersonate for the operation. User could be a regular user or a service account in a namespace.
--as-group stringArray Group to impersonate for the operation, this flag can be repeated to specify multiple groups.
--as-uid string UID to impersonate for the operation.
--cache-dir string Default cache directory (default "/Users/ysicing/.kube/cache")
--certificate-authority string Path to a cert file for the certificate authority
--client-certificate string Path to a client certificate file for TLS
--client-key string Path to a client key file for TLS
--cluster string The name of the kubeconfig cluster to use
--config string The ergo config file to use (default "/Users/ysicing/.ergo/config/ergo.yml")
--context string The name of the kubeconfig context to use
--debug Prints the stack trace if an error occurs
--disable-compression If true, opt-out of response compression for all requests to the server
--insecure-skip-tls-verify If true, the server's certificate will not be checked for validity. This will make your HTTPS connections insecure
--kubeconfig string Path to the kubeconfig file to use for CLI requests.
--match-server-version Require server version to match client version
-n, --namespace string If present, the namespace scope for this CLI request
--password string Password for basic authentication to the API server
--profile string Name of profile to capture. One of (none|cpu|heap|goroutine|threadcreate|block|mutex) (default "none")
--profile-output string Name of the file to write the profile to (default "profile.pprof")
--request-timeout string The length of time to wait before giving up on a single server request. Non-zero values should contain a corresponding time unit (e.g. 1s, 2m, 3h). A value of zero means don't timeout requests. (default "0")
-s, --server string The address and port of the Kubernetes API server
--silent Run in silent mode and prevents any ergo log output except panics & fatals

--token string Bearer token for authentication to the API server
--user string The name of the kubeconfig user to use
--username string Username for basic authentication to the API server
--warnings-as-errors Treat warnings received from the server as errors and exit with a non-zero exit code
