If there are no other role bindings associating users to other rolesthe users could only access this namespace.


We could also use a ResourceQuota resource to put a limit on the resources a namespace can have access to.

To limit the resources the namespace could access to "2" processor cores and "20 GB" of memory, we set these values for both the resource requests and the resource limits for the pods living in that namespace as follows:
