GitLab authenticates against Kubernetes using service tokens, which are
scoped to a particular `namespace`. If you don't have a service token yet,
you can follow the
[Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/configure-service-account/)
to create one. You can also view or create service tokens in the
[Kubernetes dashboard](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/web-ui-dashboard/)
(under **Config > Secrets**). **The account that will issue the service token
must have admin privileges on the cluster.**
scoped to a particular `namespace`.
**The token used should belong to a service account with
[`cluster-admin`](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#user-facing-roles)
privileges.** To create this service account:
1. Create a `gitlab` service account in the `default` namespace:
```bash
kubectl create -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: ServiceAccount
metadata:
name: gitlab
namespace: default
EOF
```
1. Create a cluster role binding to give the `gitlab` service account
`cluster-admin` privileges:
```bash
kubectl create -f - <<EOF
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: gitlab-cluster-admin
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: gitlab
namespace: default
roleRef:
kind: ClusterRole
name: cluster-admin
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
EOF
```
NOTE: **Note:**
For GKE clusters, you will need the
`container.clusterRoleBindings.create` permission to create a cluster
role binding. You can follow the [Google Cloud
documentation](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/granting-changing-revoking-access)
to grant access.
- **Project namespace** (optional) - You don't have to fill it in; by leaving
it blank, GitLab will create one for you. Also:
- Each project should have a unique namespace.
