Description Tomas Plevko 2017-09-06 12:57:31 UTC 
Description of problem:

I found that the OS user is not able to get his own UID. The user needs cluster-admin rights to get UID's of all users. He should be able to look up his own UID.


For instance github user can access his ID easilly:
https://api.github.com/users/tplevko


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.x


Steps to Reproduce:
1. oc get user test --> User "test" cannot list all users in the cluster
2. https://{url}/oapi/v1/users --> the same result

The current user is aliased as ~



$ oc whoami
developer



$ oc get users '~'
NAME        UID                                    FULL NAME   IDENTITIES
developer   578e2223-93e9-11e7-b947-507b9dac97ff               anypassword:developer



$ oc get users '~' -o yaml
apiVersion: v1
groups: []
identities:
- anypassword:developer
kind: User
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: 2017-09-07T16:26:46Z
  name: developer
  resourceVersion: "836"
  selfLink: /oapi/v1/users/developer
  uid: 578e2223-93e9-11e7-b947-507b9dac97ff

@Mo, it works! Thank you for the help, I couldn't find it anywhere. I think this could be a good input into the knowledge base.
