launching agents during install running as root instead of user context

Hi All,

I've built an install using Apple's PackageMaker utility.
It installs a user agent.
At the end of the install I would like to start the user agent using launchctl.
However, since I had to elevate privileges during the install  , I end up starting the user agent as root.

Is there any way to un-elevate privileges during an install so that launch agent starts in user context?

Thanks in advance
Arjun M
