Permissions Issues with Custom Annotations for OpenShift Projects

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We are looking into how to annotate OpenShift resources with custom metadata
  • Tried to use oc annotate project [NAME] but we seem to lack access rights to add custom annotations
  • Is it possible to set up rights to perform custom annotations of resources?
  • Attempting to annotate a project gives:
$ oc annotate projects testproject  someannotation=true
The Project "testproject" is invalid: metadata.annotations[someannotation]: Invalid value: "true": field is immutable, try updating the namespace
  • Attempting to annotate a namespace gives:
$ oc annotate namespaces testproject  someannotation=true
Error from server (Forbidden): User "myuser" cannot "patch" "namespaces" with name "testproject" in project "testproject"
