[olm] the alm-operator crashed with the "admin" permission
Last modified: 2018-10-18 04:52:15 EDT
Description of problem: When grants the "admin" permission to the "olm-operator-serviceaccount". The alm-operator crashed. "error configuring operator: namespaces \"default\" is forbidden: User \"system:serviceaccount:operator-lifecycle-manager:olm-operator-serviceaccount\" cannot patch namespaces in the namespace \"default\": no RBAC policy matched" Maybe something wrong in our created clusterrole "aggregate-olm-edit" and "aggregate-olm-view". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): quay.io/coreos/olm@sha256:44b445850b3e612c062424c3727bb85048ec8e71407b39985786d29aa20f5c79 quay.io/coreos/catalog@sha256:20886d49205aa8d8fd53f1c85fad6a501775226da25ef14f51258b7066e91064 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Delete the clusterrolebinding "olm-operator-binding-operator-lifecycle-manager". 2. Grants the "admin" permission to the serviceaccount "olm-operator-serviceaccount" # oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user admin -z olm-operator-serviceaccount 3. Restart the alm-operator. Actual results: The alm-operator crashed.

The aggregate-olm-edit and aggregate-olm-view roles should be automatically collected by the global "view" and "edit" clusterroles. To make sure this is working, you should be able to `oc get clusterrole view` and see the rules from aggregate-olm-view there, and you should be able to `oc get clusterrole edit` and see the rules from aggregate-olm-edit there as well.
Install the OLM by using the openshift-ansible master branch. LGTM, verify it, thanks!
