Associated with an external, normal user or a ServiceAccount defined in the Kubernetes cluster
Treated as anonymous requests if the cluster has been configured to allow anonymous requests

This is determined in the authentication process – the entire HTTP request is used as input to the process, but usually only request hearers or the client certificate is analyzed.
