The default is **false**. + +By default, Podman containers are unprivileged (**=false**) and cannot, for +example, modify parts of the operating system. This is because by default a +container is only allowed limited access to devices. A "privileged" container +is given the same access to devices as the user launching the container. + +A privileged container turns off the security features that isolate the +container from the host. Dropped Capabilities, limited devices, read-only mount +points, Apparmor/SELinux separation, and Seccomp filters are all disabled. + +Rootless containers cannot have more privileges than the account that launched them. |
