Strictly speaking "privileged user" just means a user with sufficient
permissions to perform the task. That user is often root since root
can do anything. But it could be a regular user that has been placed into
the appropriate group (/etc/group) or configured via SELinux etc..

At the kernel level, there are no special UIDs except 0 for root.

For openshift, idk, but these might be helpful
