<p>I'm following a tutorial by <a href="https://medium.com/@diegomrtnzg/secure-your-kubernetes-services-by-using-https-connections-63fa102a90c2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Diego Martínez</a>, outlining how to use an ingress controller with SSL on K8s. Everything works fine, with the exception of an RBAC error:</p>

<p><code>It seems the cluster it is running with Authorization enabled (like RBAC) and there is no permissions for the ingress controller. Please check the configuration</code></p>

<p>Does anyone know how I can grant RBAC permissions to this resource?</p>

<p>I'm running on Google Cloud, and for reference, below is the ingress deployment spec</p>

<p>If you are deploying nginx-ingress, perhaps the <a href="https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/nginx-ingress" rel="nofollow noreferrer">nginx-ingress Helm chart</a> is a simpler way to do it.</p>
<p>You can follow <a href="https://kubernetes.github.io/ingress-nginx/deploy/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">the guide</a> on the nginx-ingress documentation installation on RBAC-enabled clusters.</p>
<p>Specifically addressing your question regarding adding the RBAC permissions, you will need to add something like:</p>
