Chapter 17. Impersonating the system:admin user


17.1. API impersonation

You can configure a request to the OpenShift Container Platform API to act as though it originated from another user. For more information, see User impersonation in the Kubernetes documentation.

17.2. Impersonating the system:admin user

You can grant a user permission to impersonate system:admin, which grants them cluster administrator permissions.

Procedure

  • To grant a user permission to impersonate system:admin, run the following command:

    $ oc create clusterrolebinding <any_valid_name> --clusterrole=sudoer --user=<username>
    Tip

    You can alternatively apply the following YAML to grant permission to impersonate system:admin:

    apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
    kind: ClusterRoleBinding
    metadata:
      name: <any_valid_name>
    roleRef:
      apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
      kind: ClusterRole
      name: sudoer
    subjects:
    - apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
      kind: User
      name: <username>

17.3. Impersonating the system:admin group

When a system:admin user is granted cluster administration permissions through a group, you must include the --as=<user> --as-group=<group1> --as-group=<group2> parameters in the command to impersonate the associated groups.

Procedure

  • To grant a user permission to impersonate a system:admin by impersonating the associated cluster administration groups, run the following command:

    $ oc create clusterrolebinding <any_valid_name> --clusterrole=sudoer --as=<user> \
    --as-group=<group1> --as-group=<group2>

17.4. Adding unauthenticated groups to cluster roles

As a cluster administrator, you can add unauthenticated users to the following cluster roles in OpenShift Container Platform by creating a cluster role binding. Unauthenticated users do not have access to non-public cluster roles. This should only be done in specific use cases when necessary.

You can add unauthenticated users to the following cluster roles:

  • system:scope-impersonation
  • system:webhook
  • system:oauth-token-deleter
  • self-access-reviewer
Important

Always verify compliance with your organization’s security standards when modifying unauthenticated access.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to the cluster as a user with the cluster-admin role.
  • You have installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Procedure

  1. Create a YAML file named add-<cluster_role>-unauth.yaml and add the following content:

    apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
    kind: ClusterRoleBinding
    metadata:
     annotations:
       rbac.authorization.kubernetes.io/autoupdate: "true"
     name: <cluster_role>access-unauthenticated
    roleRef:
     apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
     kind: ClusterRole
     name: <cluster_role>
    subjects:
     - apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
       kind: Group
       name: system:unauthenticated
  2. Apply the configuration by running the following command:

    $ oc apply -f add-<cluster_role>.yaml
