Running IBM Mono2Micro as non-root user

You can run the IBM® Mono2Micro™ product as a non-root user. Use the --user option with the IBM Mono2Micro command line tool to specify the non-root user.

To run the tools with a specific user, use the --user = <user_id> option with a mono2micro command. The product defaults to root.

Add the user to the docker group so that the user has permission to write into the folder that is used in the command.
The following Docker command shows a Linux® example.
```
sudo usermod -aG docker <userid>
```
For Podman, use podman instead of docker in the command.
```
sudo usermod -aG podman <userid>
```
Get the user ID.
For example, to get the user ID in Linux, run the id command with the -u parameter.
```
id -u <user>
```
