 Users technically exist only on the upstream cluster. Rancher creates [RoleBindings and ClusterRoleBindings](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/rbac/#rolebinding-and-clusterrolebinding) that refer to Rancher users, even though there is [no actual User resource](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/#users-in-kubernetes) on the downstream cluster.

 When users interact with a downstream cluster through the authentication proxy, there needs to be some entity downstream to serve as the actor for those requests. Rancher creates service accounts to be that entity. Each service account is only granted one permission, which is to **impersonate** the user they belong to. If there was only one service account that could impersonate any user, then it would be possible for a malicious user to corrupt that account and escalate their privileges by impersonating another user.
