Discussion:
/kind bug What happened: In , there are tests for {Default,}AllowPrivilegeEscalation fields, but those in actually test the AllowPrivilegeEscalation as this is set in the test instead of testing its suggested Default* form, thus being mostly redundant to tests in . On top of that, part of the tests in test a scenario which is not allowed, that being are wrong due to but since this is assigned directly, it was never validated and thus no errors were found. What you expected to happen: There are no redundant or incorrect tests in . Environment: Kubernetes version: master
