Description
Proposal:
The initial operator token should be shown once in the UI after setup happens.
Current behavior:
The UI was updated in 2.5.1 to be much more in line with current Cloud2. This brought with it the change that tokens are only shown once. This is acceptable for new token creation, but when the instance is initially setup (through the UI) there is no way to ever see the operator token.
Desired behavior:
A simple popup, very similar to the popup after token creation, could show after setup occurs to provide the operator token to the user.
Alternatives considered:
A workaround is to perform setup via the CLI, but some users would prefer to use the UI so that should be a supported use case.
Use case:
The current flow is confusing and is a good way for users to lose their operator token.

Research direction
Start with the UI setup flow and compare it with the existing token-creation popup, which the issue identifies as the desired model. Run setup through the UI and verify that the initial operator token is displayed once afterward, so users can retrieve it without using the CLI.
