-----------------------------------

             Summary: flink-kubernetes-operator RoleBinding for Leases not 
created in correct namespace when using watchedNamespaces
                 Key: FLINK-32041
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-32041
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Kubernetes Operator
    Affects Versions: kubernetes-operator-1.4.0
            Reporter: Andrew Otto


When enabling [HA for 
flink-kubernetes-operator|https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-kubernetes-operator-docs-main/docs/operations/configuration/#leader-election-and-high-availability]
 a RBAC rules must be created to allow the flink-operator to manage k8s Lease 
resources.  When not using watchNamespaces, the RBAC rules are created at the 
k8s cluster level scope, giving the flink-operator ServiceAccount the ability 
to manage all needed k8s resources for all namespaces.

However, when using watchNamespaces, RBAC rules are only created in the 
watchNamepaces.  For most rules, this is correct, as the operator needs to 
manage resources like Flink pods and deployments in the watchNamespaces.  

However, For flink-kubernetes-operator HA, the Lease resource is managed in the 
same namespace in which the operator is deployed.  

The Helm chart should be fixed so that the proper RBAC rules for Leases are 
created to allow the operator's ServiceAccount in the operator's namespace.
