OpenShift identity and authorization governance controls both operator lifecycle and workload deployment: the complete OAuth→User→Identity→Authorization chain gates OLM operator installation (ClusterRole/ServiceAccount for InstallPlans) and workload pod admission (SCC evaluation), making identity the root of all platform access regardless of OLM generation.
Identity governance is upstream of both operator installation and workload admission — the OLM chain cannot begin without RBAC, making identity the root dependency.
