Operator crashes when it doesn't have permissions to watch a namespace
If one of many namespaces does not set the permissions for the operator to watch the namespace, it throws exceptions and goes to crashLoopBackOff state.
This is clearly a bug. One misconfigured namespace should never be able to take the operator down with it.

This is expected behavior and common among operators; it can't function and do what's needed if it lacks the permissions needed.
I know we have an open support case around this to try and understand more about your use case, and we're hoping that we'll be able to offer some guidance to avoid this problem and still achieve what you need. It may even be a new use case that we look to support.
