The securityContext field defines privilege and access control settings for a Pod or Container, including the runtime UID and GID.
The `securityContext` field defines privilege and access control settings for
a {{< glossary_tooltip text="Pod" term_id="pod" >}} or
{{< glossary_tooltip text="container" term_id="container" >}}.

<!--more-->
The securityContext field in a {{< glossary_tooltip term_id="pod" >}} (applying to all containers) or container is used to set the user, groups, capabilities, privilege settings, and security policies (SELinux/AppArmor/Seccomp) and more that container processes use.
In a `securityContext`, you can define: the user that processes run as,
the group that processes run as, and privilege settings.
You can also configure security policies (for example: SELinux, AppArmor or seccomp).
The `PodSpec.securityContext` setting applies to all containers in a Pod.
