Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: A new developer opening the dev perspective in the web console would get scoped to the `default` namespace even if they did not have access to this namespace. Consequence: Depending on the page the user visits, they would see errors because they don't have permission to access resources in the `default` namespace. Fix: New developers in the console are now scoped to the `all projects`. Result: The dev perspective will display a list of projects to choose from instead of a page containing errors.

Description Eric Rich 2020-05-27 16:17:04 UTC
Description of problem: Users are directed to the topology view for the 'default' namespaces (on the developer console), vs being directed to a namespace they own, or some other 'overview'/'landing' page. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

> Kubernetes Version: v1.16.2
> API Server: https://api.us-east-2.starter.openshift-online.com:6443

How reproducible: 100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Navigate to https://console-openshift-console.apps.CLUSTER.DOMAIN/
  - In this case OpenShift Starter 
2. I will take you to the '/topology/ns/default' context. 

Actual results:

> Restricted Access
> You don't have access to this section due to cluster policy.

> Danger alert:Error details
deploymentconfigs.apps.openshift.io is forbidden: User "USER" cannot list resource "deploymentconfigs" in API group "apps.openshift.io" in the namespace "default"

Expected results:

The first thing a user sees, with the development console should not be an error (Restricted Access).

Additional info:

Comment 2 cvogt 2020-05-28 17:47:59 UTC
There is a change in 4.5 where the user will no longer encounter the error `deploymentconfigs.apps.openshift.io is forbidden: User "USER" cannot list resource "deploymentconfigs" in API group "apps.openshift.io" in the namespace "default"`

However the user is still redirected to the default namespace whether they have access or not.

Will look to change the default namespace to something else for 4.5 re-evaluate the first experience flows in 4.6.

Comment 6 cvogt 2020-05-29 14:51:29 UTC
A change was made to now default new users into `all projects` instead of the 'default' namespace which they may not have access to. A new user will no longer see an error the first time they visit the dev perspective.
In future releases we will continue to improve on the initial flows for new users.
