Description of problem:
With invalid range value for runAsGroup parameter(65536) improve error validation check message
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.21.0-0.nightly-2025-11-03-191704
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install AWS/GCP/Azure cluster 2. Create newproject and do deployment as mentioned below. 3. Check the status of deployment //deployment.yaml apiVersion: apps/v1 kind: Deployment metadata: name: deployment-invalid-group-test-65536 namespace: testropatil annotations: openshift.io/required-scc: restricted-v3 spec: replicas: 1 selector: matchLabels: app: testing template: metadata: labels: app: testing annotations: openshift.io/required-scc: restricted-v3 spec: hostUsers: false securityContext: runAsUser: 1000 runAsGroup: 65536 # This allows till 65535 for user namespaces fsGroup: 1000 runAsNonRoot: true seccompProfile: type: RuntimeDefault containers: - name: testing image: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi-minimal # image: registry.redhat.io/ubi9/ubi command: ["/bin/sleep"] args: ["3600"] securityContext: allowPrivilegeEscalation: false capabilities: drop: ["ALL"]
Actual results:
Error: container create failed: setgroups: Invalid argument
Expected results:
We have only given invalid range value i.e 65536, Any possibilty to update error message like: Invalid value: 65536: must be in the ranges: [1000, xxxxx] instead of Invalid argument which is user confusing message
