Argocd UI shows Unable to load data: permission denied when i deploy the app in a certain way

description

my app consist of a helm chart and kustomize, and i created two method to deploy the entire app:

• method A: A top level kustomize that consist of two argo Application: cloud-hello-world (helm), cloud-ns (namespace resources in other kustomize)
  
• method B: A top level kustomize that contains namespace resources, and has only one argo Application: cloud-hello-world (helm)
  

while the deploy method A works fine, somehow with the deploy method B, i will get Unable to load data: permission denied when i try to navigate into the cloud-hello-world application, but i can see the deployment is working properly with kubectl

how to reproduce

deploy the app with method A

argocd app create test-cloud-stage \
  --project marketing-cloud \
  --repo https://github.com/James-Lu-none/argo-rbac-test.git \
  --path kustomize/cloud/overlays/stage \
  --revision split-ns \
  --dest-server https://kubernetes.default.svc \
  --dest-namespace test-cloud \
  --label argocd/appname=argoproj

deploy the app with method B

argocd app create test-cloud-stage \
  --project marketing-cloud \
  --repo https://github.com/James-Lu-none/argo-rbac-test.git \
  --path kustomize/cloud/overlays/stage \
  --revision main \
  --dest-server https://kubernetes.default.svc \
  --dest-namespace test-cloud \
  --label argocd/appname=argoproj

In argo-cd ui, Navigate into the cloud-hello-world application and you will see method be is fine and method B return Unable to load data: permission denied

P.S. The reason why i want to use method B instead of just stay with the working method A is because i want to only have one kustomize directory.
