Thanks for your response.  Perhaps interpreting this will help me
understand SCC better - My app pod looks like:

Is this telling me that my container is running as non-root user (
*1000030000*) and security context is *restricted*?  How do I interpret
this container from security context?

I had specifically commented out USER section in my Dockerfile when
creating this image as it was creating problems when copying things to
root.  This led me to think that this image will be run as "root" user in
OpenShift which does not appear to be the case by looking at pod details:

# Drop the root user and make the content of /opt/app-root owned by user
1001
#RUN chown -R 1001:0 /opt/app-root
#USER 1001
