+### Kubernetes authorizer library
+
+For CEL expressions in the API where a variable of type `Authorizer` is available,
+the authorizer may be used to perform authorization checks for the principal
+(authenticated user) of the request.
+
+API resource checks are performed as follows:
+
+1. Specify the group and resource to check: `Authorizer.group(string).resource(string) ResourceCheck`
+2. Optionally call any combination of the following builder functions to further narrow the authorization check.
+   Note that these functions return the receiver type and can be chained:
+  - `ResourceCheck.subresource(string) ResourceCheck`
+  - `ResourceCheck.namespace(string) ResourceCheck`
+  - `ResourceCheck.name(string) ResourceCheck` 
+3. Call `ResourceCheck.check(verb string) Decision` to perform the authorization check.
+4. Call `allowed() bool` or `reason() string` to inspect the result of the authorization check.
+
+Non-resource authorization performed are used as follows:
+
+1. specify only a path: `Authorizer.path(string) PathCheck`
+1. Call `PathCheck.check(httpVerb string) Decision` to perform the authorization check.
+1. Call `allowed() bool` or `reason() string` to inspect the result of the authorization check.
+
+To perform an authorization check for a service account:
+
+- `Authorizer.serviceAccount(namespace string, name string) Authorizer`
