## Access control
### Roles
To run in a cluster the operator needs certain permissions, you can see them in [this directory](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/tree/master/config/rbac):
- [`role.yaml` file](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/blob/master/config/rbac/role.yaml) - basic set of cluster roles for launching an operator.
- [`leader_election_role.yaml` file](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/blob/master/config/rbac/leader_election_role.yaml) - set of roles with permissions to do leader election (is necessary to run the operator in several replicas for high availability).
Also, you can use single-namespace mode with minimal permissions, see [this section](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/configuration#namespaced-mode) for details.
Also in [the same directory](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/tree/master/config/rbac) are files with a set of separate permissions to view or edit [operator resources](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/resources/) to organize fine-grained access:
- file `<RESOURCE_NAME>_viewer_role.yaml` - permissions for viewing (`get`, `list` and `watch`) some resource of vmoperator.
- file `<RESOURCE_NAME>_editor_role.yaml` - permissions for editing (`create`, `delete`, `patch`, `update` and `deletecollection`) some resource of vmoperator (also includes viewing permissions).
For instance, [`vmalert_editor_role.yaml` file](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/operator/blob/master/config/rbac/vmalert_editor_role.yaml) contain permission
for editing [`vmagent` custom resources](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/operator/resources/vmagent).

## Security policies
VictoriaMetrics operator provides several security features, such as [PodSecurityPolicies](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/policy/pod-security-policy/),
[PodSecurityContext](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/configure-pod-container/security-context/).
### PodSecurityPolicy
> PodSecurityPolicy was [deprecated](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/security/pod-security-policy/) in Kubernetes v1.21, and removed from Kubernetes in v1.25.
If your Kubernetes version is under v1.25 and want to use PodSecurityPolicy, you can set env `VM_PSPAUTOCREATEENABLED: "true"` in operator, it will create serviceAccount for each cluster resource and binds default `PodSecurityPolicy` to it.
Default psp:
```yaml
apiVersion: policy/v1beta1
kind: PodSecurityPolicy
metadata:
name: vmagent-example-vmagent
spec:
allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
fsGroup:
rule: RunAsAny
hostNetwork: true
requiredDropCapabilities:
- ALL
runAsUser:
rule: RunAsAny
seLinux:
rule: RunAsAny
supplementalGroups:
rule: RunAsAny
volumes:
- persistentVolumeClaim
- secret
- emptyDir
- configMap
- projected
- downwardAPI
- nfs
```
User may also override default pod security policy with setting: `spec.podSecurityPolicyName: "psp-name"`.
## PodSecurityContext
VictoriaMetrics operator will add default Security Context to managed pods and containers if env `EnableStrictSecurity: "true"` is set.
The following SecurityContext will be applied:
### Pod SecurityContext
1. **RunAsNonRoot: true**
1. **RunAsUser/RunAsGroup/FSGroup: 65534**
'65534' refers to 'nobody' in all the used default images like alpine, busybox.
If you're using customize image, please make sure '65534' is a valid uid in there or specify SecurityContext.
1. **FSGroupChangePolicy: &onRootMismatch**
If KubeVersion>=1.20, use `FSGroupChangePolicy="onRootMismatch"` to skip the recursive permission change
when the root of the volume already has the correct permissions
1. **SeccompProfile: {type: RuntimeDefault}**
Use `RuntimeDefault` seccomp profile by default, which is defined by the container runtime,
instead of using the Unconfined (seccomp disabled) mode.
### Container SecurityContext
1. **AllowPrivilegeEscalation: false**
1. **ReadOnlyRootFilesystem: true**
1. **Capabilities: {drop: [all]}**
Also `SecurityContext` can be configured with spec setting. It may be useful for mounted volumes, with `VMSingle` for example:
```yaml
apiVersion: operator.victoriametrics.com/v1beta1
kind: VMSingle
metadata:
name: vmsingle-f
namespace: monitoring-system
spec:
retentionPeriod: "2"
removePvcAfterDelete: true
securityContext:
runAsUser: 1000
fsGroup: 1000
runAsGroup: 1000

dedup.minScrapeInterval: 10s
