Namespace RBAC Assessments

RBAC Assessment Reports under Security > Namespace Security > RBAC Assessments show RBAC policy security assessments in the selected namespace. You can open each resource (e.g. Role) to see failed checks, descriptions, and remediation steps.

RBAC Assessment Reports​

The page title is RBAC Assessment Reports, with a short description such as RBAC policy security assessments in namespace <namespace>. In the top right you can change the Namespace to filter reports.

Table​

Use the Columns control above the table to choose which columns are visible. The table includes:

ColumnDescription
Resource NameName of the RBAC resource (e.g. Role or RoleBinding name such as crossplane-admin, crossplane-edit).
Resource KindKind of resource (e.g. Role).
CriticalNumber of critical findings.
HighNumber of high-severity findings.
MediumNumber of medium-severity findings.
LowNumber of low-severity findings.
Total ChecksTotal number of checks run.

Each row has an eye icon (or similar) at the end to open Assessment Details. Pagination at the bottom (e.g. "Rows per page: 25", "1–3 of 3") and navigation arrows let you move through the list.

Assessment Details​

When you open an assessment from the list, the breadcrumbs show Security > Namespace Security > RBAC Assessments > Assessment Details.

  • Resource β€” Name and kind (e.g. crossplane-admin, Role) with a shield icon in a highlighted block.
  • Scan summary β€” Namespace, Checks (total), Passed, Failed (e.g. "Checks: 2 Passed: 0 Failed: 2"), Scanner and version (e.g. Trivy v0.29.0).
  • Severity counts β€” Badges for Critical, High, Medium, Low (e.g. "2 Critical", "0 High").

Security Checks Table​

Above the table you can filter by Severity (e.g. "All severities") and Status (e.g. "All"). The Columns button customizes visible columns.

The table lists each finding with:

ColumnDescription
Check IDIdentifier of the check (e.g. KSV050, KSV045). Rows can be expanded to show full details.
TitleShort title (e.g. "Manage Kubernetes RBAC resources", "No wildcard verb roles").
CategoryCategory of the check (e.g. "Kubernetes Security Check").
SeveritySeverity level (e.g. Critical), often with color.
StatusResult (e.g. Fail), often with an icon.

Expand a row to see:

  • Description β€” Why the check matters (e.g. an effective level of access equivalent to cluster-admin should not be provided).
  • Messages β€” Concrete instance (e.g. which Role has which verbs on which resources, such as roles and rolebindings).
  • Remediation β€” What to change (e.g. remove write permission verbs for roles and rolebindings, or avoid wildcard verbs).

Use this view to understand each RBAC finding and apply the suggested remediation. Pagination at the bottom (e.g. "1–2 of 2", "Rows per page: 25") applies when there are many findings.
