`AlwaysDeny` blocks all requests (used in tests).
`AlwaysAllow` allows all requests; use if you don't need authorization.
`ABAC` allows for user-configured authorization policy. ABAC stands for Attribute-Based Access Control.
`Webhook` allows for authorization to be driven by a remote service using REST.

## Webhook Mode
When specified, mode `Webhook` causes Kubernetes to query an outside REST service when determining user privileges.
### Configuration File Format
Mode `Webhook` requires a file for HTTP configuration, specify by the `--authorization-webhook-config-file=SOME_FILENAME` flag.
The configuration file uses the [kubeconfig](../user-guide/kubeconfig-file.md) file format. Within the file "users" refers to the API Server webhook and "clusters" refers to the remote service.
A configuration example which uses HTTPS client auth:
```yaml
# clusters refers to the remote service.
clusters:
-name:name-of-remote-authz-service
cluster:
certificate-authority:/path/to/ca.pem# CA for verifying the remote service.
server:https://authz.example.com/authorize# URL of remote service to query. Must use 'https'.
# users refers to the API Server's webhook configuration.
users:
-name:name-of-api-server
user:
client-certificate:/path/to/cert.pem# cert for the webhook plugin to use
client-key:/path/to/key.pem# key matching the cert
```
### Request Payloads
When faced with an authorization decision, the API Server POSTs a JSON serialized api.authorization.v1beta1.SubjectAccessReview object describing the action. This object contains fields describing the user attempting to make the request, and either details about the resource being accessed or requests attributes.
Note that webhook API objects are subject to the same [versioning compatibility rules](../api.md) as other Kubernetes API objects. Implementers should be aware of loser compatibility promises for beta objects and check the "apiVersion" field of the request to ensure correct deserialization. Additionally, the API Server must enable the `authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1` API extensions group (`--runtime-config=authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1=true`).
An example request body:
```json
{
"apiVersion":"authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1",
"kind":"SubjectAccessReview",
"spec":{
"resourceAttributes":{
"namespace":"kittensandponies",
"verb":"GET",
"group":"*",
"resource":"pods"
},
"user":"jane",
"group":[
"group1",
"group2"
]
}
}
```
The remote service is expected to fill the SubjectAccessReviewStatus field of the request and respond to either allow or disallow access. The response body's "spec" field is ignored and may be omitted. A permissive response would return:
```json
{
"apiVersion":"authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1",
"kind":"SubjectAccessReview",
"status":{
"allowed":true
}
}
```
To disallow access, the remote service would return:
```json
{
"apiVersion":"authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1",
"kind":"SubjectAccessReview",
"status":{
"allowed":false,
"reason":"user does not have read access to the namespace"
}
}
```
Access to non-resource paths are sent as:
```json
{
"apiVersion":"authorization.k8s.io/v1beta1",
"kind":"SubjectAccessReview",
"spec":{
"nonResourceAttributes":{
"path":"/debug",
"verb":"GET"
},
"user":"jane",
"group":[
"group1",
"group2"
]
}
}
```
Non-resource paths include: `/api`, `/apis`, `/metrics`, `/resetMetrics`, `/logs`, `/debug`, `/healthz`, `/swagger-ui/`, `/swaggerapi/`, `/ui`, and `/version.` Clients require access to `/api`, `/api/*/`, `/apis/`, `/apis/*`, `/apis/*/*`, and `/version` to discover what resources and versions are present on the server. Access to other non-resource paths can be disallowed without restricting access to the REST api.
For further documentation refer to the authorization.v1beta1 API objects and plugin/pkg/auth/authorizer/webhook/webhook.go.
## Plugin Development
Other implementations can be developed fairly easily.
--advertise-address=<nil>: The IP address on which to advertise the apiserver to members of the cluster. This address must be reachable by the rest of the cluster. If blank, the --bind-address will be used. If --bind-address is unspecified, the host's default interface will be used.
--allow-privileged[=false]: If true, allow privileged containers.
--apiserver-count=1: The number of apiservers running in the cluster
--authorization-mode="AlwaysAllow": Ordered list of plug-ins to do authorization on secure port. Comma-delimited list of: AlwaysAllow,AlwaysDeny,ABAC
--authorization-mode="AlwaysAllow": Ordered list of plug-ins to do authorization on secure port. Comma-delimited list of: AlwaysAllow,AlwaysDeny,ABAC,Webhook
--authorization-policy-file="": File with authorization policy in csv format, used with --authorization-mode=ABAC, on the secure port.
--authorization-webhook-config-file="": File with webhook configuration in kubeconfig format, used with --authorization-mode=Webhook. The API server will query the remote service to determine access on the API server's secure port.
--basic-auth-file="": If set, the file that will be used to admit requests to the secure port of the API server via http basic authentication.
--bind-address=0.0.0.0: The IP address on which to listen for the --secure-port port. The associated interface(s) must be reachable by the rest of the cluster, and by CLI/web clients. If blank, all interfaces will be used (0.0.0.0).
--cert-dir="/var/run/kubernetes": The directory where the TLS certs are located (by default /var/run/kubernetes). If --tls-cert-file and --tls-private-key-file are provided, this flag will be ignored.
