Description Robb Gatica 2024-07-17 18:09:46 UTC 
Using in-cluster access to k8s API server with the service account token mounted via `automountServiceAccountToken: true` configuration in AAP Automation Controller , it is possible to assume the identity of the service account and can potentially do anything that the service account is able to do.
