- Read ConfigMaps cluster-wide
- Read ConfigMaps in a namespace
- Delete namespaces
- Escalate privileges via ClusterRoles (escalate verb)
- Bind ClusterRoles to identities (bind verb)
- Manage Deployments cluster-wide (potential for privileged pod execution)
- Manage Deployments in a namespace (potential for privileged pod execution)
- Manage DaemonSets cluster-wide (runs on all nodes, high impact)
- Manage DaemonSets in a namespace (runs on nodes, high impact)
- Manage StatefulSets cluster-wide
- Manage StatefulSets in a namespace
- Read events cluster-wide
- Read RBAC configuration cluster-wide
- Use privileged PodSecurityPolicy (deprecated)
