      Description of problem:

          When attempting to install the Web Terminal Operator, the console now force-requires an AWS Role_ARN to be provided before installation can continue (see screenshot). This is not needed and is confusing to end users.

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

          

      How reproducible:

      Always    

      Steps to Reproduce:

          1. Make a new OCP Cluster (I used ROSA HCP version 4.16.4
          2. Attempt to install the Web Terminal Operator
          

      Actual results:

          Putting any string value into the box allows the operator to install. Confusing error message for end users because the documentation does not mention the role_arn anywhere.

      Expected results:

      This field should not be required    

      Additional info:

      To better understand the validity of this issue, I will explain with the following:
      
      We need to ask the question: Does the Web Terminal Operator need cloud API access?
      If the operator does not need cloud API access, why is the UX asking for a role-ARN?
      
      If a role-ARN is not required, then the UX should not ask for a role-ARN.
      If a role-ARN is required, it should be a value that is validated by the respective operator, rather than allowing any string of text.
