Following that thoughts...
Will it be so incorrectly to unbound IMA-ns from USER-ns?
I realize that it could lead a lot of problems but it is still unclear will current IMA-ns will be useful for Kuber...
How userland supposed to use current IMA-ns implementation?

Br,
Denis

Hi. 
My question won't be about capabilities. I'm wondering how IMA-ns which is associated with USER-ns and is created during USER-ns creation would be used by some namespaces orchestration systems, e.g. Kubernetes?.. It seems that it can be run without any user namespaces... 
Their community just discuss this opportunity to support User namespaces. (see https://github.com/kubernetes/enhancements/pull/2101)
Looks like currently IMA-ns will not be applicable for Kubernetes.

Br,
Denis

Use mac_admin_ns_capable() to check corresponding capability to allow read/write IMA policy without CAP_SYS_ADMIN but with CAP_MAC_ADMIN.
