ClusterRoleBinding references a ClusterRole, but not contain it.  It can reference a ClusterRole in the global namespace, and adds who information via Subject.

APIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#resources

Kind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents. Servers may infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to. Cannot be updated. In CamelCase. More info: https://git.k8s.io/community/contributors/devel/sig-architecture/api-conventions.md#types-kinds

RoleRef contains information that points to the role being used

APIGroup is the group for the resource being referenced

Kind is the type of resource being referenced

Name is the name of resource being referenced

RoleRef can only reference a ClusterRole in the global namespace. If the RoleRef cannot be resolved, the Authorizer must return an error. This field is immutable.

Subject contains a reference to the object or user identities a role binding applies to.  This can either hold a direct API object reference, or a value for non-objects such as user and group names.

APIGroup holds the API group of the referenced subject. Defaults to "" for ServiceAccount subjects. Defaults to "rbac.authorization.k8s.io" for User and Group subjects.

Kind of object being referenced. Values defined by this API group are "User", "Group", and "ServiceAccount". If the Authorizer does not recognized the kind value, the Authorizer should report an error.

Namespace of the referenced object.  If the object kind is non-namespace, such as "User" or "Group", and this value is not empty the Authorizer should report an error.

Subjects holds references to the objects the role applies to.
