By default, Spread will run the test suites with sudo. To be more comprehensive, and specifically for the doc tests (which are public-facing code blocks that must be reproducible), Spread should also run the tests as a nonroot user.
Why it needs to get done
If we only run the tests with sudo, then we'll fail to identify documentation bits that ignore how permissions might be set in the user's working environment. For example - #649 . In this case, testing that code block with a nonroot user would've helped identify the documentation issue in advance.
