1. Proposed title of this feature request

• Auto respect RBAC Feature maybe broken with OpenShift Gitops Operator.

2. What is the nature and description of the request?

ArgoCD has a feature called respect rbac, which it checks if it should add to autodiscovery based on if it can "list" an object.

• https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/operator-manual/declarative-setup/#auto-respect-rbac-for-controller

Now in the openshift version of the operator, the operator appears to create a custom clusterrole/rolebinding, which is mapped to //list

• https://github.com/redhat-developer/gitops-operator/blob/a50c77695456068503abe4f6cf2baced87d734fd/controllers/argocd/openshift/openshift.go#L223-L233

Which means this feature no longer works since the operator is automatically creating a permissions to list all objects on the cluster.

3. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

• To use the full capability of respect rbac feature of ArgoCD.

4. List any affected packages or components.

• Openshift Gitops operator
