If you are using a different user than admin, you have to grant a daemonset clusterrole.
As Admin, create a dedicated cluster role:
cat <<EOF | oc create -f - apiVersion: v1 kind: ClusterRole metadata: name: system:daemonset-admin rules: - resources: - daemonsets apiGroups: - extensions verbs: - create - get - list - watch - delete - update EOF
Grant the daemonset cluster role to your user in the right namespace
oadm policy add-role-to-user system:daemonset-admin [email protected] -n testdaemonset
