+## Not possible to join a v1.18 Node to a v1.17 cluster due to missing RBAC
+
+In v1.18 kubeadm added prevention for joining a Node in the cluster if a Node with the same name already exists.
+This required adding RBAC for the bootstrap-token user to be able to GET a Node object.
+
+However this causes an issue where `kubeadm join` from v1.18 cannot join a cluster created by kubeadm v1.17.
+
+To workaround the issue you have two options:
+
+Execute `kubeadm init phase bootstrap-token` on a control-plane node using kubeadm v1.18.
+Note that this enables the rest of the bootstrap-token permissions as well.
+
+or
+
+Apply the following RBAC manually using `kubectl apply -f ...`:
+
+```yaml
+apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
+kind: ClusterRole
+metadata:
+  name: kubeadm:get-nodes
+rules:
+- apiGroups:
+  - ""
+  resources:
+  - nodes
+  verbs:
+  - get
+---
+apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
+kind: ClusterRoleBinding
+metadata:
+  name: kubeadm:get-nodes

+- apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
