<p>I am trying to configure Kubernetes RBAC in the least-permissive way possible and I want to scope my roles to specific resources and subresouces.   I've dug through the docs and can't find a concise list of resources and their subresources.  </p>

<p>I'm particularly interested in a the subresource that governs a part of a Deployment's spec--the container image.</p>

<p>Using <code>kubectl api-resources -o wide</code> shows all the <strong>resources</strong>, <strong>verbs</strong> and associated <strong>API-group</strong>.</p>

<p>I guess you can use this to create the list of resources needed in your RBAC config</p>
