Allen Wittenauer commented on YARN-4262:
----------------------------------------
"admin" is the wrong thing to do here. It really should be a different list of
users so that the two feature sets can have separation of privileges.
> Allow admins to run privileged docker containers.

> There are scenarios where privileged containers are necessary in order to run
> certain kinds of applications (one example is trying to run postresql/oracle
> inside containers). However, given the security implications, we should
> ensure that :
> 1) privileged containers are disabled by default, even for admins
> 2) if enabled, only admins should be allowed to launch such containers and
> 3) Not all containers launched by admin users need to be privileged
> containers : admin users need to explicitly request that a privileged
> container be launched.
