# If you are sharing a cluster with other users who may want to install ECK on their own namespaces, setting this to true can have unintended consequences.

# 1. Upgrades will overwrite the global CRDs and could disrupt the other users of ECK who may be running a different version.

# 2. Uninstalling the chart will delete the CRDs and potentially cause Elastic resources deployed by other users to be removed as well.
