 Kyverno uses secrets created above to setup TLS communication with the kube-apiserver and specify the CA bundle to be used to validate the webhook server's certificate in the admission webhook configurations.
 
-### 3. Install Kyverno
+### 3. Configure Kyverno Role
+Kyverno, in `foreground` mode, leverages admission webhooks to manage incoming api-requests, and `background` mode applies the policies on existing resources. It uses ServiceAccount `kyverno-service-account`, which is bound to multiple ClusterRole, which defines the default resources and operations that are permitted.
+
+ClusterRoles used by kyverno:
+- kyverno:webhook
+- kyverno:userinfo
+- kyverno:customresources
+- kyverno:policycontroller
+- kyverno:generatecontroller
+
+The `generate` rule creates a new resource, and to allow kyverno to create resource kyverno ClusterRole needs permissions to create/update/delete. This can be done by adding the resource to the ClusterRole `kyverno:generatecontroller` used by kyverno or by creating a new ClusterRole and a ClusterRoleBinding to kyverno's default ServiceAccount.
