I’m trying to run the command module as follows:

command: kubectl scale deployment -n logdemo myDeployment --replicas=2

I’m getting this error: **User "system:serviceaccount:awx:awx" cannot get resource "deployments" in API group "apps" in the namespace "logdemo"**

How do I give the awx user additional permissions for the **logdemo** namespace?

I believe you need to create a Rolebinding for ‘awx’ serviceaccount in order for it to access logdemo namespace resources.  
See follow example below.
