I've got the same problem on Google Kubernetes Engine.

According to the answer of enj and the comment of ccyang2005 please find the following snipet who solve my problem :)

Step 1 : Get your identity

gcloud info | grep Account

Will output you something like Account: [myname@example.org]

Step 2 : grant cluster-admin to your current identity

kubectl create clusterrolebinding myname-cluster-admin-binding \
  --clusterrole=cluster-admin \
  --user=myname@example.org

Will output somthing like Clusterrolebinding "myname-cluster-admin-binding" created

After that, you'll be able to create CusterRoles
