Details

Summary

By default, salt-call runs to the current user. As such, we should
allow to use as root to avoid to first have to touch files/directory,
then to .

Furthermore, it's not convenient to install packages or chown.

Security implication is salt group's members have a root access
to the Salt master too, currently Ysul, in addition to other servers.

Ref. T795.

Test Plan

sudo salt-call --local test.ping
