3.11. Disabling the automatic creation of RBAC resources

The default installation of the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator creates multiple role-based access control (RBAC) resources for all namespaces in the cluster, except the namespaces matching the ^(openshift|kube)-* regular expression pattern. Among these RBAC resources, the pipelines-scc-rolebinding security context constraint (SCC) role binding resource is a potential security issue, because the associated pipelines-scc SCC has the RunAsAny privilege.

To disable the automatic creation of cluster-wide RBAC resources after the Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines Operator is installed, cluster administrators can set the createRbacResource parameter to false in the cluster-level TektonConfig custom resource (CR).
