How to manage kubectl from another user

Question

Hi i have a server configured with kubernetes (without using minikube), i can execute kubectl commands without problems, like kubectl get all, kubectl delete pod, kubectl delete apply ...

I would want to know how to allow another user from my server to execute kubectl commands, because if i change to another user and i try to execute kubectl get all -s localhost:8443 i get:

Error from server (BadRequest): the server rejected our request for an unknown reason

I have read the Kubernetes Authorization Documentation, but im not sure if it is what im looking for.

@JaumeGarciaSanchez can you tell if the second user should use the same credentials as the first one? If not take a look here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/55534445/12257134 — Dawid Kruk, Jun 25 '20 at 09:33

This is happening because there is no kubeconfig file for the user.You need to have the same kubeconfig file for the other user either in the default location $HOME/.kube/config or in any location pointed by KUBECONFIG environment variable.

You can copy the existing kubeconfig file for the working user to the above location for the non working user.
