Helm / Kubernetes - Statefulset & Permissions

Question

I keep seeing this error:

Events:
  FirstSeen LastSeen    Count   From        SubObjectPath   Type        Reason      Message
  --------- --------    -----   ----        -------------   --------    ------      -------
  12s       2s      12  {statefulset }          Warning     FailedCreate    create Pod pgset-0 in StatefulSet pgset failed error: pods "pgset-0" is forbidden: unable to validate against any security context constraint: [fsGroup: Invalid value: []int64{26}: 26 is not an allowed group]

I've created a ServiceAccount named "pgset-sa", and granted it the cluster-admin role. I've been researching other ways to get this to work (including editing scc restricted), but keep getting the error from fsGroup stating it's not an allowed group. What am I missing?

Take a look at this document titled: Managing Security Context Constraints .

The service account associated with the statefulset must be granted a security context constraint sufficient to allow the pod (one that either allows exactly the fsGroup 26 or allows any fsGroup, in this case).
