Cannot create resource "roles" in API group "rbac.authorization.k8s.io"

[icicimov]

Seems some rbac permissions are missing:

level=error msg="Key 'injector1' processing failed: roles.rbac.authorization.k8s.io is forbidden: User \"system:serviceaccount:nsinjector-controller:nsinjector-controller\" cannot create resource \"roles\" in API group \"rbac.authorization.k8s.io\" in the namespace \"my-test-ns\""

Looks like i have the same..
nsinjector-controller service account dont have the right roles/clusterrole to create resources.

I had a similar problem - I'm guessing you're using the clusterInternal permission scheme instead of specifying a kube config file?

I had to add this to the clusterrole.yaml file in the helm chart template:

- apiGroups: ["rbac.authorization.k8s.io"]
  resources: ["rolebindings"]
  verbs: ["list", "get", "watch", "create", "update", "patch", "delete"]

Then it started working. (Although I guess you'd need to change the resources line to include "roles" as well.

The default [""] bit for the apiGroups also failed: I think you have to specify the rbac one explicitly.
