 ### Kubernetes signers
 
 Kubernetes provides built-in signers that each have a well-known `signerName`:

-    1. Permitted subjects - no subject restrictions, but approvers and signers may choose not to approve or sign. Certain subjects like cluster-admin level users or groups vary between distributions and installations, but deserve additional scrutiny before approval and signing. The `CertificateSubjectRestriction` admission plugin is available and enabled by default to restrict `system:masters`, but it is often not the only cluster-admin subject in a cluster.
