This means either your kubernetes version is too old or RBAC API is not enabled in your cluster.

You can check <apiserver_ip>:<apiserver_port>/apis endpoint. If you use kubectl proxy then check http://localhost:8001/apis. It should list enabled apis and their versions. You can use that information to adjust deploy yaml.

If RBAC API is not enabled you need to enable it and the process depends on how you installed the cluster.
