Use these modes to impersonate nodes. This mode applies when the Impersonate-User header value starts with system:node:.
Verbs: impersonate:arbitrary-node - Permission to impersonate any specified node impersonate:associated-node - Permission to impersonate only the node to which the impersonator is bound impersonate-on:arbitrary-node: - Permission to perform when impersonating any node impersonate-on:associated-node: - Permission to perform when impersonating the associated node
The impersonate:associated-node verb only applies when the impersonator is a service account bound to the node it's trying to impersonate. This is determined by checking if the service account's user info contains an extra field with key authentication.kubernetes.io/node-name that matches the node being impersonated.
