GKE – User cannot create resource – requires one of [“container.roles.create”] permission(s)

Kubernetes, , , , ,
The Issue

I stood up my first ever GKE cluster! Woo, go me!

However when I was trying to setup Tanzu Service Mesh, I hit issues such as:

Error from server (Forbidden): error when creating "operator-deployment.yaml": roles.rbac.authorization.k8s.io is forbidden: User "[email protected]" cannot create resource "roles" in API group "rbac.authorization.k8s.io" in the namespace "vmware-system-tsm": requires one of ["container.roles.create"] permission(s).
The Cause

This is because your initial Kubernetes login has no cluster level permissions, due to the RBAC setup.

The Fix

You need to create some new Cluster Level roles and bind to them with your account, or use the existing ones.

As this is a demo environment. I just bound my account to the out-of-the-box cluster-admin ClusterLevelRole (that is a mouthful!).

kubectl create clusterrolebinding cluster-admin-binding \
--clusterrole=cluster-admin \
--user=[gcp user email]

# Example
kubectl create clusterrolebinding cluster-admin-binding \
--clusterrole=cluster-admin \
[email protected]

If you need to double check with google account you are using, you can run:

gcloud info | grep Account

Google Cloud – Invitation email not received – Project IAM role pending

General, , ,
The Issue

For me, it started off with having some odd issues in a GKE cluster, where I didn’t have permissions to do things at a cluster level. After some digging it pointed to the wrong IAM roles on the Google Cloud Project.

When I investigated this, I found I wasn’t yet confirmed as the owner of the project. It said an email was sent, but I had received nothing!

google cloud - IAM - Invitation sent pending acceptance

The Cause

Maybe something wrong with Googles SMTP? Or spam filters on the receivers side. But it doesn’t help you cannot resent the email!

The Fix

You can accept the invitation by going to the below link.

https://console.cloud.google.com/invitation?project=[your-project-id]&account=[the-account-email-invited]&memberEmail=[the-account-email-invited]

Example
https://console.cloud.google.com/invitation?project=veducate-demo&[email protected]&[email protected]
