Affected Version

yay v9.2.1 - libalpm v11.0.3

Issue

Building AUR packages with root IS dangerous, but SHOULD be allowed if someone know the risk. It is very inconvenient to run yay on a system without an non-root user. Consider adding a item to the configure file to allow root.

Currently my workaround is creating a user for yay, adding it to sudoers with NOPASSWD then alias yay="sudo -u yay yay".

Steps to reproduce

With root, execute yay -S caddy (or any other AUR packages)

Output

==> Refusing to install AUR Packages as root, Aborting.
