Description
OpenShift has countless components where different access levels are needed. To control access, the user must first log into the component and then be presented with a DOD-approved use notification banner before granting access to the component. This guarantees privacy and security notification verbiage used is consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance.
