How to view Roles and ClusterRoles details in kubernetes dashboard

I am using kubernetes dasboard in version: v1.10.1

When I go to "Roles" tab I can see a list of ClusterRoles and Roles.

k8s dashboard

I would like to see more details about a particular role from the list, but I do not see any "details" button. I want to see information about the role in the dashboard widget or even in yaml format. Am I missing something or this is not possible through dashboard?

Solution

  • Unfortunately it's not possible to achieve what you described in Kubernetes Dashboard even on the most recent version.

    To list all Roles on your cluster, you need to use the command line tool (kubectl): 

    kubectl get rolebindings,clusterrolebindings --all-namespaces -o custom-columns='KIND:kind,NAMESPACE:metadata.namespace,NAME:metadata.name,SERVICE_ACCOUNTS:subjects[?(@.kind=="ServiceAccount")].name'

    Than you can extract the yaml file as in this example: 

    kubectl get clusterrolebindings prometheus -o yaml

    Or you can just describe it:

    kubectl describe clusterrolebindings prometheus
