When connecting Lens to OIDC enabled cluster, there's few things you as a user need to take into account.

<p><b>Dedicated refresh token</b></p>
<p>
As Lens app utilized kubeconfig is "disconnected" from your main kubeconfig Lens needs to have it's own refresh token it utilizes.
If you share the refresh token with e.g. <code>kubectl</code> who ever uses the token first will invalidate it for the next user.
