Description of Problem

• The cluster role created for the ApplicationSet controller is missing required permissions, causing failures when reconciling.

Additional Info

• Refer issue- https://github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-operator/issues/2038

Problem Reproduction

• <How do we reproduce the problem?>

Reproducibility

• <Always/Intermittent/Only Once>

Prerequisites/Environment

• <OpenShift, managed service (e.g., ROSA, ARO), operators, layered product, and other software versions, build details>

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Setup argocd that has cluster scope enabled
2. Create ApplicationSet resource in a different namespace that the argocd
3. ApplicationSet controller fails with missing permissions

"failed to list *v1alpha1.AppProject: appprojects.argoproj.io is forbidden: User \"system:serviceaccount:argocd:argocd-applicationset-controller\" cannot list resource \"appprojects\" in API group \"argoproj.io\" at the cluster scope

Expected Results

• ApplicationSet controller should be able to reconcile and create applications
