Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes (RHACS) creates an administrator account, admin, during the installation process that can be used to log in with a user name and password. The password is dynamically generated unless specifically overridden and is unique to your RHACS instance.
In production environments, it is highly recommended to create an authentication provider and remove the admin user.
