A **[Role binding](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#rolebinding-and-clusterrolebinding)** grants role permissions to a user or set of users. Rolebindings are assigned to a particular namespace during creation. The Rolebinding resource holds a list of subjects (users, groups, or service accounts), and a reference to the role being granted. A **_RoleBinding_** grants permissions within a specific namespace like pods, replicasets, jobs, and deployments. Whereas a **_ClusterRoleBinding_** grants cluster scoped resources like nodes.
Under Resource Type - Authorization section you can view **_ClusterRoleBindings_** and **_Rolebindings_** resources on your cluster listed by namespace. Example **_RoleBindings_** are shown in the following screenshot.
A **[ClusterRoleBinding](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#rolebinding-and-clusterrolebinding)** attach **_ClusterRoles_** to a set of users. They are scoped to a cluster, and are not bound to namespaces like **_Roles_** and **_RoleBindings_**.
