| _from_uid_ + 3 | _container_uid_ + 3 |
| _from_uid_ + 4 | _container_uid_ + 4 |
+When running as rootless, Podman will use all the ranges configured in the _/etc/subuid_ file.
+
+The current user ID is mapped to UID=0 in the rootless user namespace.
+Every additional range is added sequentially afterward:
+
+| host |rootless user namespace | length |
+| - | - | - |
+| $UID | 0 | 1 |
+| 1 | $FIRST_RANGE_ID | $FIRST_RANGE_LENGTH |
+| 1+$FIRST_RANGE_LENGTH | $SECOND_RANGE_ID | $SECOND_RANGE_LENGTH|
+
Even if a user does not have any subordinate UIDs in _/etc/subuid_,
**--uidmap** could still be used to map the normal UID of the user to a
container UID by running `podman run --uidmap $container_uid:0:1 --user $container_uid ...`.
