3.3. Granting view permissions

Configure the necessary permissions for the application to access the required cluster resources.

OpenShift Container Platform automatically creates several service accounts in every project. The default service account takes responsibility for running the pods. OpenShift Container Platform uses and injects this service account into every pod that launches.

By default, the default service account has limited permissions to interact with the OpenShift API.

As a requirement of the application, you must assign the view role to the default service account to allow it to communicate with the OpenShift API to learn about pods, services, and resources within the project.
