Gracefully degrade features when missing certain permissions #3558

Open mcandre opened 3 years ago

What would you like to be added:

Continue to function as far as possible in scenarios where the user lacks certain permission. For example, when the user has a specific Kubernetes namespace in mind, but lacks permission to get, list, or describe namespaces.

Why is this needed:

So that users are able to enjoy Lens in more business environments.

Environment you are Lens application on:

Kubernetes distribution: [EKS, AKS, GKE, Rancher, ...] EKS
Desktop OS: macOS

If you already know the name of the namespace that you have access to but cannot list namespaces then you can hardcode that namespace under cluster settings. The heading should be "Accessible Namespaces".
