- Response measure
-
Operation is granted with the
--as cluster-admin
CLI flag - Rationale

In OpenShift, certain operations (for example installing Operators) require elevated privileges. Pre-defined users or groups are given the
cluster-admin
role in order to maintain the APPUiO Zone or provide technical support for customers.
This is similar to sudo in Linux.
