Question: what is the purpose of rbac role in this chart?

[RomanIzvozchikov]

Hello!

I tried to realise what is the purpose of rbac role in this chart? We need these permissions if Bitwarden pod needs to modify some Kubernetes resources, but I am unsure that Bitwarden pod does this. I didn't find any related information in README.md.

From my perspective these permissions listed in RBAC role are unnecessary.

rules:
  - apiGroups: ["extensions", "apps"]
    resources: ["deployments"]
    verbs: ["get", "list", "watch", "create", "update", "patch", "delete"]
  - apiGroups: [""]
    resources: ["pods"]
    verbs: ["create","delete","get","list","patch","update","watch"]
  - apiGroups: [""]
    resources: ["pods/exec"]
    verbs: ["create","delete","get","list","patch","update","watch"]
  - apiGroups: [""]
    resources: ["pods/log"]
    verbs: ["get","list","watch"]
  - apiGroups: [""]
    resources: ["secrets"]
    verbs: ["get"]

Could somebody clarify this?

I guess it was added as a starting point to implement the principle of least privilege, but this should have been tailored and unnecessary permissions were removed.
