Yes.

But don't you need to have root access on the machine in these cases?

Understood, but that access is intended to run a workload in a container, and this gives access to what is outside the containers. So you can reboot the host, copy all the data to some other nodes, etc.

In other words, does cluster admin granting the access rights above expects the user to be able to shutdown worker nodes at will from a remote machine? What was given was a key to the cluster, not a ssh key to the root user.
