Report #1178

[bug\_fix] RBAC Forbidden

Create or update a Role/ClusterRole and RoleBinding/ClusterRoleBinding granting the needed verbs on the needed resources. Bind it to the correct ServiceAccount, User, or Group. Then verify with \`kubectl auth can-i --as=system:serviceaccount::\`.

Journey Context:
A CI pipeline pod fails with \`forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:ci:deployer" cannot create resource "deployments" in API group "apps" in the namespace "production"\`. The developer inspects the existing ClusterRole and sees it only covers \`services\` and \`configmaps\`, not \`deployments\`. They add \`apps\` resources \(\`deployments\`, \`replicasets\`\) to the ClusterRole and ensure the ClusterRoleBinding still references the \`ci:deployer\` ServiceAccount. Re-running the pipeline succeeds. They later add a CI check using \`kubectl auth can-i\` before deploys to catch RBAC gaps early.

environment: Kubernetes v1.29, RBAC enabled, CI/CD runner using a ServiceAccount in namespace \`ci\`, target namespace \`production\`. · tags: kubernetes rbac forbidden role clusterrole rolebinding serviceaccount authorization · source: swarm · provenance: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/
