"services" allows to list services.

The below Yaml file describes the ClusterRole named "pods" for listing pods:


The below Yaml file describes the ClusterRole named "services" for listing services:


To combine the above ClusterRoles, we can specify an aggregationRule which describes the labels for these
ClusterRoles:


The rule field will have all the ClusterRoles that match the labels in the matchLabels field.

We could check our ClusterRole using the below command:


The aggregationRule specifies "matchLabels" fields that kubernetes uses to match other ClusterRole objects that should be combined into the "aggregate" ClusterRole.
