MKE must have Grants created to control authorization to cluster resources.

Description
MKE uses Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) to enforce approved authorizations for logical access to information and system resources in accordance with applicable access control policies. Using an IDP (per this STIG) still requires configure mapping. Refer to the following for more information: https://docs.mirantis.com/mke/3.7/ops/authorize-rolebased-access/rbac-tutorials/access-control-standard.html#access-control-standard.

Verify the applied RBAC policies set in MKE are configured per the requirements set forth by the System Security Plan (SSP).

Log in to the MKE web UI as an MKE Admin and navigate to Access Control >> Grants.

When using Kubernetes orchestration, select the "Kubernetes" tab and verify that cluster role bindings are configured per the requirements set forth by the SSP.
