Fleet Server In Elastic Error : elastic-agent-cluster-leader is forbidden

We are setting up a fleet server in Kubernetes.
It has been given a CA and states its running but we cannot shell into it, and the logs are nothing but the following:

E0817 09:12:10.074969 927 leaderelection.go:330] error retrieving
resource lock default/elastic-agent-cluster-leader:
leases.coordination.k8s.io "elastic-agent-cluster-leader" is
forbidden: User "system:serviceaccount:default:elastic-agent" cannot
get resource "leases" in API group "coordination.k8s.io" in the
namespace "default"

I can find very little information on this ever happening let alone a resolution. Any information pointing to a possible resolution would be massively helpful!

You need to make sure that you have applied the ServiceAccount, ClusterRoles and ClusterRoleBindings from the setup files.

An example of these can be found in the quickstart documentation.
