SCC permission for deploying containers

[Milstein]

Need help with:

I have been trying to deploy native Kubernetes applications, e.g., https://github.com/DescartesResearch/TeaStore, but have failed to do so, seemingly because the containers need root permissions. I understand that OpenShift uses very restrictive Security Context Constraints, but it seems like no one in my group is able to modify these constraints to a less restrictive SCC to successfully spin up our desired application. What are our options here? Should there be someone in our group with the appropriate permissions to change the SCC, or do we have to rebuild the application images with the SCC in mind, i.e., change the UID the containers run with?

Our goal is to deploy a microservice-architecture app that can be benchmarked with load tests - would there be any suitable alternatives to the TeaStore I previously linked, built for OpenShift? I have not had much luck searching for such an app...

If SCC permission is required may be we can create on how to page on NERC documentation website.
