5.6. Adding roles to users

Procedure

1. Add a role to a user in a specific project:

   $ oc adm policy add-role-to-user <role> <user> -n <project>

   For example, you can add the admin role to the alice user in joe project by running:

   $ oc adm policy add-role-to-user admin alice -n joe

2. View the local role bindings and verify the addition in the output:

   $ oc describe rolebinding.rbac -n <project>

   For example, to view the local role bindings for the joe project:

   $ oc describe rolebinding.rbac -n joe
