Description Abu Kashem 2020-04-14 19:52:34 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1823933 +++

Description of problem:
In OpenShift 4.4, the default SCCs are managed by CVO. This means any changes to it are stomped by CVO.

We have customers who change the default SCCs for their workload. when a cluster upgrades from 4.3 -> 4.4, user's changes to the default SCCs will be stomped by CVO and customer workload will face outages consequently.
  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
OpenShift 4.4


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install OpenShift 4.3

2. Change the default SCC 
    oc patch scc privileged --type json -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/users/-", "value": "kubeadmin"}]'
    oc patch scc anyuid --type json -p '[{"op": "add", "path": "/users/-", "value": "kubeadmin"}]'

3. do a 4.3 -> 4.4 upgrade


Actual results:
Changes to the default SCCs will be lost as a result of the upgrade.

Expected results:
The upgrade should retain the changes made by the user
