Description of problem: Rolebinding patch is not working for "authorization.openshift.io/v1" apiservice


# cat > rolebinding.yaml << EOL
apiVersion: authorization.openshift.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
  name: test-rolebinding
roleRef:
  kind: Role
  name: view
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.openshift.io
subjects:
- kind: User
  name: user1
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.openshift.io
EOL

# oc apply -f rolebinding.yaml
rolebinding.authorization.openshift.io/test-rolebinding created

# oc get rolebinding test-rolebinding
NAME               ROLE      USERS               GROUPS    SERVICE ACCOUNTS   SUBJECTS
test-rolebinding   /view     user1  


Edited yaml file and added below line

- kind: User
  name: user2
  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.openshift.io


# oc apply -f rolebinding.yaml
rolebinding.authorization.openshift.io/test-rolebinding configured

# oc get rolebinding test-rolebinding
NAME               ROLE      USERS               GROUPS    SERVICE ACCOUNTS   SUBJECTS
test-rolebinding   /view     user1

But when I use rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1 apiversion it's working as expected.

This was originally reported in 3.11, but I can reproduce the same problem in 4.2. Making this a blocker bug until we know why this happen.
Comment 2 Michal Fojtik 2019-08-14 12:05:46 UTC 
Mo, FYI (this looks like something is broken on the server side, I can see `oc` sending and receiving the correct data, however the data are not persisted).
