When running the latest version of the helm chart on Openshift we get the following error:

```auto
Error: Can't drop privilege as nonroot user

```

To start we only ran: `helm install pmm percona/pmm`

Hi @Robin_Bauhn welcome to the Percona forums! Our apologies for the delay in replying to your post - I’ve escalated with the PMM Engineers and I hope to get you an answer shortly. Thanks!

Hi @Robin_Bauhn ,

we are still working to add rootless support for PMM:  
[https://jira.percona.com/browse/PMM-10222](https://jira.percona.com/browse/PMM-10222)  
[https://jira.percona.com/browse/PMM-3019](https://jira.percona.com/browse/PMM-3019)

maybe there is a way to enable rootfull images for Openshift to allow root in the container.

Thanks,  
Denys

Hi @Robin_Bauhn  
You can look at scc in order to enable root
