+# Role Based Access Control
+
+Until Kubernetes 1.7, there were no permissions within a cluster. With the launch of 1.7, there is now a role based access control system ([RBAC](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/authorization/rbac/)) which determines what services can perform actions within a cluster.
+
+RBAC affects a few different aspects of GitLab:
+* [Installation of GitLab using Helm](tiller.md#preparing-for-helm-with-rbac)
+* Prometheus monitoring
+* GitLab Runner
+
+## Checking that RBAC is enabled
+
+Try listing the current cluster roles, if it fails then `RBAC` is disabled
+
+This command will output `false` if `RBAC` is disabled and `true` otherwise
+
+`kubectl get clusterroles > /dev/null 2>&1 && echo true || echo false`
