+Enabling this manifest enables the usage of a ServiceAccount with
+readonly permissions for Sonobuoy plugins that mount the created
+token.
+
+To use this readonly ServiceAccount mount the ServiceAccountToken in
+`values.yaml` like:
+
+```
+conf:
+  plugins:
+    - name: plugin-needing-readonly.yaml
+      data: |
+        sonobuoy-config:
+          driver: Job
+          plugin-name: plugin-needing-readonly
+          result-type: plugin-needing-readonly
+        spec:
+          name: plugin-needing-readonly
+          image: "plugin-needing-readonly:latest"
+          imagePullPolicy: "IfNotPresent"
+          volumeMounts:
+          - mountPath: /tmp/results
+            name: results
+            readOnly: false
+          - name: readonly-token
+            # It's recommended to use this mountPath to overwrite the
+            # Sonobuoy service account credentials that are mounted
+            # by default in the plugin containers to prevent plugins
+            # from accidentally using credentials with full permissions.
+            mountPath: /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount
+        extra-volumes:
+        - name: readonly-token
+          secret:
+            secretName: sonobuoy-readonly-serviceaccount-token-secret
+```
+
+After mounting the readonly token, the example at
+https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/tree/3fb2be14e18d84edef094bbd908b6bb3e39aafe6#example
+may be referenced to list pods, etc.
