Looking to learn more about OpenShift 4 authentication and become familiar with user and group management? OpenShift contains a built-in OAuth server then distributes access tokens for users to authenticate to the API. You can configure something called an Identity Provider that’s used to confirm your identity to allow access by your OAuth server. Once authenticated, you then have Users, Groups, and Service Accounts that can be granted roles that have specific types of access controlled by RBAC.

A user in OpenShift is an entity that requests access to the OpenShift API.
