Code of Conduct

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/manage-runners/use-actions-runner-controller/deploy-runner-scale-sets#using-kubernetes-mode

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

Root is not required for running kubernetes no volume. I just updated spec to

securityContext:
allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
capabilities:
drop:
- ALL
runAsGroup: 1001
runAsNonRoot: true
runAsUser: 1001

via helm and it is working fine without root. this was hold up for me when deciding between kubernetes and kubernetes no volume mode

    @matthew-clark33 There's actually already a PR to do this that I'm getting confirmation for, although I am glad this came up because it's not going through the usual channels and had fallen off my radar since I wasn't tracking it the usual way. I'm going to close the issue and PR since we've got one addressing it, but thank you for opening this and reminding me to check in with the person I need an okay from.
