UCD Agent install as non-root user using UCD Blueprint

Using UCD Blueprint Designer 6.2.4 linked with IBM Cloud Manager with Openstack we are trying to provision Linux VMs in order to run UCD component processes. When we add UCD components to a blueprint an OS::Heat::SoftwareConfig resource is added declaring a predefined bash script that installs and starts the UCD agent.
However, the script below installs and runs the UCD agent as root user. Due to compliance reasons we need to install and run the agent as a non- root user that will have the appropriate sudo permissions.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The offering team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, or the idea has aged or has been implemented, so the idea will be closed. The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.

    This request applies to agents installed by both Heat and Terraform blueprints.
