## Abstract


As a Kubernetes User, i should be able to specify both user id and group id for the containers running
inside a pod on a per Container basis, similar to how docker allows that using docker run options -u,
--user="" Username or UID (format: <name|uid>[:<group|gid>]) format.

Inside a pod on a per Container basis, similar to how docker allows that using docker run options -u,
--user="" Username or UID (format: <name|uId>[:<group|gid>]) format.

PodSecurityContext allows Kubernetes users to specify RUnAsUser which can be overriden by RunAsUser
in SecurtiyContext on a per Container basis. There is no equivalent field for specifying the primary
Group of the running container.
PodSecurItyContext allows Kubernetes users to specify RunAsUser which can be overriden by RunAsUser
In SecurityContext on a per Container basis. There is no equivalent field for specifying the primary
Group of the runnIng container.

## Motivation

Enterprise Kubernetes users want to run containers as non root. This means running containers with a
non zero user id and non zero group id. This gives Enterprises confidence that their customer code
is running with least privilege and if it escapes the container boundary, will still cause least harm
by decreasing the attack surface.

## Goals

1: Provide the ability to specify the Primary Group Id for a container inside a Pod
2: Bring launching of containers using Kubernetes at par with Dockers by supporting the same features.

## Use Cases

Use case 1:
As a cluster operator, i should be able to control both user id and primary group id of containers
launched using Kubernetes.
As a Kubernetes User, I should be able to control both user id and primary group id of containers
launched using Kubernetes at runtime, so that i can run the container as non root with least possible
privilege.

Use case 2:
As a cluster operator, i should be able to override user id and primary group id of a container as
specified in the Dockerfile without having to create a new docker image for the container.

Following points should be noted:-

- `FSGroup` and `SupplementalGroups` will continue to have their old meanings and would be untouched.
- The `RunAsGroup` in the SecurityContext will ovveride the `RunAsGroup` in the PodSecurityContext.
- If no RunAsGroup is provided in the PodSecurityContext and SecurityContext, the Group provided
in the image will be used.
- If no RunAsGroup is provided in the PodSecurityContext and SecurityContext, and none in the image,
the container will run with primary Group as root(0).
- The `RunAsGroup` In the SecurityContext will override the `RunAsGroup` in the PodSecurityContext.
- If no RunAsGroup Is provided in the PodSecurityContext and SecurityContext, the Group provided
In the Docker image will be used.

## Not In Scope
## PodSecurityPolicy

PodSecurityPolicy defines strategies or conditions that a pod must run with in order to be accepted
into the system. Some of these stratgies are RunAsUser and SupplementalGroups. After this change we
would introduce a new strategy called RunAsGroup which will support the following options:-
PodSecurItyPolicy defines strategies or conditions that a pod must run with in order to be accepted
Into the system. Two of the relevant strategies are RunAsUser and SupplementalGroups. We introduce
a new strategy called RunAsGroup which will support the following options:-
- MustRunAs
- MustRunAsNonRoot
- RunAsAny
Although these changes are simple, i would like a wider discussion on whether we want this as part
of this feature or we need some kind of consolidation both RunASUser and RunAsGroup strategy into
one.
