Insufficient `security` privileges. To allow, check the 'security' option in the 'Privileges & Security' repository settings

Any idea why this is happening in my build pipeline? The repository was enabled inside Crow.

I can’t find the ‘Privileges & Security’ repository settings

I was using `privileged: true` and that’s what was causing it. Since I was trying to build a docker image, I switched to using image: crow-plugins/docker-buildx: Crow CI plugin to build multi-arch images via Docker buildx - CodeFloe - A code hosting platform for the modern age and that works

Yes, only admins can use these options as they effectively interact with the underlying host directly.

For building docker images the buildx plugin is the way to go. It is allowlisted to run privileged by default without the option to be altered by the user in it’s scope and provides you with a convenient way to build (multiarch) images.
