What is the primary difference between a ClusterRoleBinding and a RoleBinding?

ClusterRoleBinding is used for users, while RoleBinding is used for ServiceAccounts.

ClusterRoleBinding grants permissions cluster-wide, while RoleBinding grants permissions within a specific namespace.

ClusterRoleBinding grants permissions to cluster-scoped resources only, while RoleBinding grants permissions to namespaced resources only.

ClusterRoleBinding can only bind ClusterRoles, while RoleBinding can bind both Roles and ClusterRoles.
