@Marvin explain the following error:

'Unable to create Kubernetes job: Forbidden: jobs.batch is forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:first:prefect-worker" cannot create resource "jobs" in API group "batch" in the namespace "default"'

The error message you encountered indicates that the Kubernetes service account

system:serviceaccount:first:prefect-worker

does not have the necessary permissions to create Kubernetes jobs in the

default

namespace. This is a common issue when deploying Prefect workers on Kubernetes, especially when the namespace settings are not correctly configured. ### Possible Causes and Solutions: 1. Namespace Configuration: - The service account might be trying to create jobs in the

default

namespace, but it lacks the necessary permissions. Ensure that the namespace where the Prefect worker is deployed matches the namespace where it tries to create jobs. You can either adjust the worker's namespace settings or ensure the necessary permissions are granted in the

default

namespace. 2. Role and RoleBinding: - You need to create a

Role

and

RoleBinding

that grants the necessary permissions to the service account in the target namespace. You can do this using Kubernetes commands like

kubectl create role

and

kubectl create rolebinding

. 3. ClusterRole and ClusterRoleBinding: - If the worker needs to operate across multiple namespaces, consider using a

ClusterRole

and

ClusterRoleBinding

to grant permissions across the entire cluster. 4. Documentation and Resources: - Refer to the Prefect Kubernetes deployment guide for more information on configuring your Kubernetes worker. - Check the Service Accounts management page for details on managing service accounts in Prefect. ### Related Issues: - There are several GitHub issues discussing similar problems, such as Kubernetes workers trying to create jobs in the wrong namespace and Namespace configuration issues. These might provide additional context or solutions. If you are using Helm for deployment, ensure that your Helm chart values are correctly set up to match your namespace and permissions needs.

hi @Charlie Nash didn't read marvin's response closely but this is most often bc k8s work pool has a different namespace than where the worker helm chart is deployed

clicked through from our slack alerts to see nate said the same thing I was going to say

@Nate @Kevin Grismore That was absolutely the problem. Thanks!
