For git operations, it may be desirable to run them as unpriviliged user, while copy may require elevated permissions.

E.g., instead of:
sudo sayod-backup copy
sayod-backup replace-git

We might want
sudo sayod-backup copy

with
[context]
providers = accesslist replacor

[accesslist]
action = acl
unless = always

[replacor]
action = sayod
command = replace-git
before = no
runuser = my_unpriviliged_account

The issue is even larger:

notifications should be runnable as different user
all providers (looking at you, ManualProvider) should be runnable as different user.
