SAS Viy4 deployment using Kubernetes : Clusterwide and cluster local permissions.

[thesasuser]

Hello
I am looking at the Deployment of SAS Viya4 on Open Shift using Kubernetes. (https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/itopscdc/v_056/dplyml0phy0dkr/p127f6y30iimr6n17x2xe9vlt54q.h... )
I am looking at the steps 3,4 and 5
Step (Steps 2 and 3) say "As an administrator with cluster permissions, run"
In another step (step 4) it says "As an administrator with local cluster permissions"
In yet another step (step 5) it says "As an administrator with namespace permissions, run ".
My question is are "administrators with cluster permission" and "administrators with cluster local permissions" different?

Short answer: in practice, yes, it's always the cluster-admin role, except step #5.

Longer answer: these roles are covered in the official documentation at https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/itopscdc/v_071/itopssr/n0bqwd5t5y2va7n1u9xb57lfa9wx.htm?from... and explained with more details in this community article: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/What-Kubernetes-permissions-do-I-need-to-depl...
