RbacAssessmentReport

An instance of the RbacAssessmentReport represents checks performed by configuration auditing tools, such as [Trivy], against a Kubernetes rbac assessment. For example, check that a given Role do not expose permission to secret for all groups

Each report is owned by the underlying Kubernetes object and is stored in the same namespace, following the <Role>-<role-name> naming convention.

The following listing shows a sample RbacAssessmentReport associated with the Role named role-868458b9d6 in the default namespace.
