Question

A municipal admin needs kubectl access right after kubeadm init without weakening kubeconfig file permissions. What is the usual approach?

Accepted Answer

Copy /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf to the admin’s kubeconfig path (for example ~/.kube/config) and keep ownership/mode restricted to that admin. — The golden admin badge lives at /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf after init—copy it into your personal kubeconfig and keep the file mode tight. World-writable or public Git copies turn the badge into a flyer.

Answer

chmod 777 /etc/kubernetes/admin.conf and leave it in place for all UNIX users.

Answer

Disable TLS and use HTTP to localhost:8080 for daily administration.

Answer

Commit admin.conf to a public Git repo so every department shares the same file.
