Salt Systemd managed by user instead of root

[Sri]

Hello,

I need to manage the services on a node for a particular user instead of root user. Is there a way to use "service" module to use a user.

E.g:

openvpn: 

  service.running: 

   - enable: True

   - user: foo

Sri, I'm guessing you are talking about systemd's --user setting. if so salt does not have anything currently to use within its systems service file. so no, service can not take a user setting. 

you will need to use cmd.run if you are talking about running system commands as a user directly that also is no and again cmd.run with runas would need to be used.
