5) Navigate to UI via a browser

Use the master node ip address and the exposed port :http://<master-node-ip-address>:<exposed-port>


6) Grant full admin privilages to Dashboard Service Account

The browser does not ask for credentials to login. The default user is "system:serviceaccount:kube-system:kubernetes-dashboard" , which does not have access to the default namespace.

To fix this, create a new "ClusterRoleBinding" and provide privilages to Dashboard Service Account.
