Transmission-daemon run as user

[dimi3]

Hi..

Currently Transmission-daemon runs as root...i would like to run it with different user, but cant find where to set this up...by default i dont like to run stuff with root.

Can someone point me to right direction ?

Thank you in advance.

You can set this in SystemD service:

Change User=BobTheBuilder as needed, then paste all into term
