Container enhancement - Set group to 0

Currently the PEM container expects to be run as pemuser:pemgroup (1011:1011). The files and directories inside the image are owned by 1011:1011.


When running on OpenShift, a random user id is used to run the container. This user is not able to execute the PEM application because the group owner is 1011.


PEM documentation says to apply a less-restricted Security Context Constraint to allow the container to run as 1011.


Can the image be modified so that group ownership of all the directories and files is set to 0? This will enable the containers to run on OpenShift without requiring a less-restricted security constraint.
