Create the `system:kube-apiserver-to-kubelet` [ClusterRole](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/#role-and-clusterrole) with permissions to access the Kubelet API and perform most common tasks associated with managing pods:
```
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply --kubeconfig admin.kubeconfig -f -
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRole
metadata:
annotations:
rbac.authorization.kubernetes.io/autoupdate: "true"
labels:
kubernetes.io/bootstrapping: rbac-defaults
name: system:kube-apiserver-to-kubelet
rules:
- apiGroups:
- ""
resources:
- nodes/proxy
- nodes/stats
- nodes/log
- nodes/spec
- nodes/metrics
verbs:
- "*"
EOF
```
The Kubernetes API Server authenticates to the Kubelet as the `kubernetes` user using the client certificate as defined by the `--kubelet-client-certificate` flag.
Bind the `system:kube-apiserver-to-kubelet` ClusterRole to the `kubernetes` user:
```
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply --kubeconfig admin.kubeconfig -f -
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: ClusterRoleBinding
metadata:
name: system:kube-apiserver
namespace: ""
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: ClusterRole
name: system:kube-apiserver-to-kubelet
subjects:
- apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: User
name: kube-apiserver
EOF
```
