services / Google Cloud / RoleBindings

A RoleBinding is used to associate a Role with one or more principals (users, groups, or service accounts). It establishes a connection between a set of permissions defined in a Role and the entities that should have those permissions. Roles are scoped to a specific Kubernetes namespace.

Roles are only definitions of permissions. A role does not take effect unless assigned to principal via a RoleBinding.

Deleting a RoleBinding removes the permissions of the Role from a list of principals
