Security context constraints (SCCs)

You can use security context constraints (SCCs) to define a set of conditions that a pod must run with to be accepted into the system.

Some aspects that can be managed by SCCs include:

  • Running of privileged containers

  • Capabilities a container can request to be added

  • Use of host directories as volumes

  • SELinux context of the container

  • Container user ID

If you have the required permissions, you can adjust the default SCC policies to be more permissive, if required.
