# Kubernetes permissions for MIZU
This document describes in details all permissions required for full and correct operation of Mizu.
## Editing permissions
During installation, Mizu creates a `ServiceAccount` and the roles it requires. No further action is required.
However, if there is a need, it is possible to make changes to Mizu permissions.
### Adding permissions on top of Mizu's defaults
Mizu pods use the `ServiceAccount` `mizu-service-account`. Permissions can be added to Mizu by creating `ClusterRoleBindings` and `RoleBindings` that target that `ServiceAccount`.
For example, in order to add a `PodSecurityPolicy` which allows Mizu to run `hostNetwork` and `privileged` pods, create the following resources:
```yaml
apiVersion: policy/v1beta1
kind: PodSecurityPolicy
metadata:
name: my-mizu-psp
spec:
hostNetwork: true
privileged: true
allowedCapabilities:
- "*"
fsGroup:
rule: RunAsAny
runAsUser:
rule: RunAsAny
seLinux:
rule: RunAsAny
supplementalGroups:
rule: RunAsAny
volumes:
- "*"
---
kind: ClusterRole
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
metadata:
name: my-mizu-clusterrole
rules:
- apiGroups:
- policy
resources:
- podsecuritypolicies
verbs:
- use
resourceNames:
- my-mizu-psp
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: my-mizu-clusterrolebinding
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: my-mizu-clusterrole
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: mizu-service-account # The service account used by Mizu
namespace: mizu
```
With this setup, when Mizu starts and creates `mizu-service-account`, this account will be subject to `my-mizu-psp` via `my-mizu-clusterrolebinding`.
When Mizu cleans up resources, the above resources will remain available for future executions.
### Replacing Mizu's default permissions with custom permissions
Mizu does not create its `ServiceAccounts`, `ClusterRoles`, `ClusterRoleBindings`, `Roles` or `RoleBindings` if resources by the same name already exist. In order to replace Mizu's defaults, simply create your resources before running Mizu.
For example, creating a `ClusterRole` by the name of `mizu-cluster-role` before running Mizu will cause Mizu to use that `ClusterRole` instead of the default one created by Mizu.
Notes:
1. The resource names must match Mizu's default names.
2. User-managed resources must not have the label `app.kubernetes.io/managed-by=mizu`. Remove the label or set it to another value.
## List of permissions
The permissions that are required to run Mizu depend on the configuration.
By default Mizu requires cluster-wide permissions.
If these are not available to the user, it is possible to run Mizu in namespace-restricted mode which has a reduced set of requirements.
This is done by by setting the `mizu-resources-namespace` config option. See [configuration](CONFIGURATION.md) for instructions.
The different requirements are listed in [the permission templates dir](../cli/cmd/permissionFiles)
