Description Vikram Raj 2020-05-19 20:59:17 UTC
Description of problem:

The cloud shell controller manages a label on each workspace:
`org.eclipse.che.workspace/creator: <user UID>`

We need to identify ownership of cloud shell workspace resources to ensure we are loading the correct one in the UI. We do this today by looking at the `console.openshift.io/cloudshell-user: <username>` annotation. However this is a mutable annotation and others could "fake" out he resource for someone else.

By switching to the managed label we ensure that the resource is identified as owned by the user in the annotation always.

One caveat is that this value uses UID. which means system users like kubeadmin have a blank value.
