Hi All

I need to run awx web and awx task containers as non root user, as my org’s direction to ensure container best practices. However, i only see that both containers come up only as root user. I have git cloned 15.0.1 for both. Is it possible to run these two images as non root user? If yes, then can you guys please provide some pointers/suggestions?
