3.4. Data access and permissions

Red Hat does not have access to the clusters on which you install the secured cluster services. Also, RHACS Cloud Service does not need permission to access the secured clusters. For example, you do not need to create new IAM policies, access roles, or API tokens.

However, RHACS Cloud Service stores the data that secured cluster services send. All data is encrypted within RHACS Cloud Service. Encrypting the data within the RHACS Cloud Service platform helps to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of the data.

When you install secured cluster services on a cluster, it generates data and transmits it to the RHACS Cloud Service. This data is kept secure within the RHACS Cloud Service platform, and only authorized SRE team members and systems can access this data. RHACS Cloud Service uses this data to monitor the security and compliance of your cluster and applications, and to provide valuable insights and analytics that can help you optimize your deployments.
