Bitnami also has a fantastic guide for [configuring RBAC in your cluster](https://docs.bitnami.com/kubernetes/how-to/configure-rbac-in-your-kubernetes-cluster/) that takes you through RBAC basics.
This guide is for users who want to restrict tiller's capabilities to install resources to certain namespaces, or to grant a helm client running access to a tiller instance.

### Example: Deploy Tiller in a namespace, restricted to deploying resources only in that namespace
In the example above, we gave Tiller admin access to the entire cluster. You are not at all required to give Tiller cluster-admin access for it to work. Instead of specifying a ClusterRole or a ClusterRoleBinding, you can specify a Role and RoleBinding to limit Tiller's scope to a particular namespace.

### Example: Deploy Tiller in a namespace, restricted to deploying resources in another namespace
In the example above, we gave Tiller admin access to the namespace it was deployed inside. Now, let's limit Tiller's scope to deploy resources in a different namespace!
For example, let's install tiller in the namespace `myorg-system` and allow tiller to deploy resources in the namespace `myorg-users`.
For example, let's install Tiller in the namespace `myorg-system` and allow Tiller to deploy resources in the namespace `myorg-users`.
We'll also need to grant tiller access to read configmaps in myorg-system so it can store release information. In `role-tiller-myorg-system.yaml`:

## Helm and Role-based Access Control
When running a helm client in a pod, in order for the helm client to talk to a tiller instance, it will need certain privileges to be granted. Specifically, the helm client will need to be able to create pods, forward ports and be able to list pods in the namespace where tiller is running (so it can find tiller).

In this example, we will assume tiller is running in a namespace called `tiller-world` and that the helm client is running in a namespace called `helm-world`. By default, tiller is running in the `kube-system` namespace.
