Cluster administrators can get the OpenShift version by looking at the ClusterVersion resource. Normal users have no way to get the OpenShift version, however (that I could find), only the k8s version. This makes it difficult to report bugs, know what features are available, or know what version of the documentation to reference.

Running `oc version` doesn't show the OpenShift version to a normal user. I see this error when increasing the log level:
