Chapter 14. SubjectAccessReview [authorization.k8s.io/v1] Description SubjectAccessReview checks whether or not a user or group can perform an action. Type object Required spec 14.1. Specification Property Type Description apiVersion string APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources kind string Kind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents. Servers may infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to. Cannot be updated. In CamelCase.

More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#metadata spec object SubjectAccessReviewSpec is a description of the access request. Exactly one of ResourceAuthorizationAttributes and NonResourceAuthorizationAttributes must be set status object SubjectAccessReviewStatus 14.1.1. .spec Description SubjectAccessReviewSpec is a description of the access request. Exactly one of ResourceAuthorizationAttributes and NonResourceAuthorizationAttributes must be set Type object Property Type Description extra object Extra corresponds to the user.Info.GetExtra() method from the authenticator. Since that is input to the authorizer it needs a reflection here. extra{} array (string) groups array (string) Groups is the groups you're testing for. nonResourceAttributes object NonResourceAttributes includes the authorization attributes available for non-resource requests to the Authorizer interface resourceAttributes object ResourceAttributes includes the authorization attributes available for resource requests to the Authorizer interface uid string UID information about the requesting user. user string User is the user you're testing for. If you specify "User" but not "Groups", then is it interpreted as "What if User were not a member of any groups 14.1.2. .spec.extra Description Extra corresponds to the user.Info.GetExtra() method from the authenticator. Since that is input to the authorizer it needs a reflection here. Type object 14.1.3. .spec.nonResourceAttributes Description NonResourceAttributes includes the authorization attributes available for non-resource requests to the Authorizer interface Type object Property Type Description path string Path is the URL path of the request verb string Verb is the standard HTTP verb 14.1.4. .spec.resourceAttributes Description ResourceAttributes includes the authorization attributes available for resource requests to the Authorizer interface Type object Property Type Description fieldSelector object FieldSelectorAttributes indicates a field limited access. Webhook authors are encouraged to * ensure rawSelector and requirements are not both set * consider the requirements field if set * not try to parse or consider the rawSelector field if set. This is to avoid another CVE-2022-2880 (i.e. getting different systems to agree on how exactly to parse a query is not something we want), see https://www.oxeye.io/resources/golang-parameter-smuggling-attack for more details. For the *SubjectAccessReview endpoints of the kube-apiserver: * If rawSelector is empty and requirements are empty, the request is not limited. * If rawSelector is present and requirements are empty, the rawSelector will be parsed and limited if the parsing succeeds. * If rawSelector is empty and requirements are present, the requirements should be honored * If rawSelector is present and requirements are present, the request is invalid. group string Group is the API Group of the Resource. "*" means all. labelSelector object LabelSelectorAttributes indicates a label limited access. Webhook authors are encouraged to * ensure rawSelector and requirements are not both set * consider the requirements field if set * not try to parse or consider the rawSelector field if set.

"" (empty) means all. namespace string Namespace is the namespace of the action being requested. Currently, there is no distinction between no namespace and all namespaces "" (empty) is defaulted for LocalSubjectAccessReviews "" (empty) is empty for cluster-scoped resources "" (empty) means "all" for namespace scoped resources from a SubjectAccessReview or SelfSubjectAccessReview resource string Resource is one of the existing resource types. "*" means all. subresource string Subresource is one of the existing resource types. "" means none. verb string Verb is a kubernetes resource API verb, like: get, list, watch, create, update, delete, proxy. "*" means all. version string Version is the API Version of the Resource. "*" means all. 14.1.5. .spec.resourceAttributes.fieldSelector Description FieldSelectorAttributes indicates a field limited access. Webhook authors are encouraged to * ensure rawSelector and requirements are not both set * consider the requirements field if set * not try to parse or consider the rawSelector field if set.

Type object Property Type Description rawSelector string rawSelector is the serialization of a field selector that would be included in a query parameter. Webhook implementations are encouraged to ignore rawSelector. The kube-apiserver's *SubjectAccessReview will parse the rawSelector as long as the requirements are not present. requirements array (FieldSelectorRequirement) requirements is the parsed interpretation of a field selector. All requirements must be met for a resource instance to match the selector. Webhook implementations should handle requirements, but how to handle them is up to the webhook. Since requirements can only limit the request, it is safe to authorize as unlimited request if the requirements are not understood. 14.1.6. .spec.resourceAttributes.labelSelector Description LabelSelectorAttributes indicates a label limited access. Webhook authors are encouraged to * ensure rawSelector and requirements are not both set * consider the requirements field if set * not try to parse or consider the rawSelector field if set.

True if the action would be allowed, false otherwise. denied boolean Denied is optional. True if the action would be denied, otherwise false. If both allowed is false and denied is false, then the authorizer has no opinion on whether to authorize the action. Denied may not be true if Allowed is true. evaluationError string EvaluationError is an indication that some error occurred during the authorization check. It is entirely possible to get an error and be able to continue determine authorization status in spite of it. For instance, RBAC can be missing a role, but enough roles are still present and bound to reason about the request. reason string Reason is optional. It indicates why a request was allowed or denied. 14.2. API endpoints The following API endpoints are available: /apis/authorization.k8s.io/v1/subjectaccessreviews POST : create a SubjectAccessReview 14.2.1. /apis/authorization.k8s.io/v1/subjectaccessreviews Table 14.1. Global query parameters Parameter Type Description dryRun string When present, indicates that modifications should not be persisted. An invalid or unrecognized dryRun directive will result in an error response and no further processing of the request. Valid values are: - All: all dry run stages will be processed fieldValidation string fieldValidation instructs the server on how to handle objects in the request (POST/PUT/PATCH) containing unknown or duplicate fields. Valid values are: - Ignore: This will ignore any unknown fields that are silently dropped from the object, and will ignore all but the last duplicate field that the decoder encounters. This is the default behavior prior to v1.23. - Warn: This will send a warning via the standard warning response header for each unknown field that is dropped from the object, and for each duplicate field that is encountered. The request will still succeed if there are no other errors, and will only persist the last of any duplicate fields. This is the default in v1.23+ - Strict: This will fail the request with a BadRequest error if any unknown fields would be dropped from the object, or if any duplicate fields are present. The error returned from the server will contain all unknown and duplicate fields encountered. HTTP method POST Description create a SubjectAccessReview Table 14.2. Body parameters Parameter Type Description body SubjectAccessReview schema Table 14.3. HTTP responses HTTP code Reponse body 200 - OK SubjectAccessReview schema 201 - Created SubjectAccessReview schema 202 - Accepted SubjectAccessReview schema 401 - Unauthorized Empty
