### Running without root
In order to run zfs-autobackup without root permissions, you'll need to set a few ZFS permissions. The permissions required differ for receiving and sending.
On the machine you want to sync the dataset from, you'll need the send, hold, mount, snapshot, and destroy permissions. You can apply them like so:
```console
root@backup:~# zfs allow -u localuser mount,send,hold,snapshot,destroy rpool
```
On the receiving side, you will need the compression, mountpoint, create, mount, receive, rollback and destroy permissions:
```console
root@backup:~# zfs allow -u remoteuser compression,mountpoint,create,mount,receive,rollback,destroy tank/backups/rpool
```
