Citing PIPE(8postfix):
       user=username (required)

       user=username:groupname
              Execute  the  external  command with the rights of the
              specified username.  The software refuses  to  execute
              commands  with root privileges, or with the privileges
              of the mail system owner. If groupname  is  specified,
              the  corresponding  group  ID  is  used instead of the
              group ID of username.
