Description
The secure configuration of the container platform must be protected by disallowing changes to be implemented by non-privileged users. Changes to the container platform can introduce security risks or stability issues and undermine change management procedures. Securing configuration files from non-privileged user modification can be enforced using file ownership and permissions.
