User
Interaction with OpenShift is associated with a user. The users are internally represented with an User object, which in turn represents an actor. Permissions can be given to actors in the system by adding roles to them, or their groups. There are several user types:
Regular User
Regular users are created upon login or via the API.
System User
Group
Authentication
Authentication Methods
Identity Providers
Authorization
Security Context Constraints
OpenShift uses Security Context Constraints (SCCs) to control the actions that a pod can perform and what it has the ability to access.
