permission-manager: Created user cannot authenticate

I’ve created users with operation/all-namespaces/read-write permissions. When I merge into my existing /config: k get pods error: You must be logged in to the server (Unauthorized)

k version error: You must be logged in to the server (the server has asked for the client to provide credentials)

When I point to generated kube config saved to a file, and k version: Unable to connect to the server: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority (possibly because of "crypto/rsa: verification error" while trying to verify candidate authority certificate "kubernetes")
