Cluster is not accessible after running microk8s stop

[efrat-eizenberg]

Summary

Hi, when running microk8s stop (microk8s 1.32) without sudo, I get the following error:
2025-04-01T08:07:43Z INFO Waiting for "snap.microk8s.daemon-kubelite.service" to stop.
Stopped.
Fatal: can't open lock file /run/xtables.lock: Permission denied
Stopped.
MicroK8s did stop but after restarting microk8s, I get the same issue that Maxim described () - the cluster is not accessible
If I stop microk8s with sudo then after restart the cluster is accessible and no issue.
It seems like a bug, can you take a look please?
