Description
Hi,
Could the project consider removing operations that require root privileges? Running the program as root may pose security risks and isn't ideal for general usage. It would be beneficial if these actions could be handled with standard user permissions. Thank you!
Best,
Lin

Research direction
The issue names no files, operations, or entry points. First identify which project actions require root privileges and determine which can work with standard user permissions; done should mean those actions work without root while preserving expected behavior and security. The broad scope needs maintainer clarification before implementation.
