Kubernetes Permission Manager, Free and OSS Tool to Manage RBAC/Users

In plain words

Kubernetes Permission Manager is an open-source tool for managing role-based access control and users in Kubernetes clusters. It simplifies RBAC administration by providing a user interface for configuring permissions without manual YAML editing. The tool is designed for Kubernetes operators and administrators who need to grant and manage user access across their clusters. As a free, open-source project, it allows teams to customize and extend functionality according to their specific access control requirements.

  Talanoa▲346

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.

  Hey folks. Last year I was fortunate enough to sign a deal to write a book with my favorite technical publisher, The Pragmatic Bookshelf. When I started out as an Engineering Manager many years ago, I found that there wasn't a huge amount of material that specifically and practically helped me understand how to do my job. When you learn to program there's all of these amazing tutorials, examples and guides, but what was there for new managers? In response to this, a couple of years ago I started a blog over at https://www.theengineeringmanager.com which got a decent amount of…
