How do I run a docker container as a privileged user with user namespaces

Question

I am running with user namespaces enabled and I need to run a particular container as a root user (the container needs to be able to execute the Linux mount command from inside).

How do I run a specific container in privileged mode when namespaces are enabled?

By default a container is run as root without having to elevate privileges ? — Scott Stensland, Nov 10 '16 at 03:29
