Is it possible to have jupyterhub spawn user environments as the jupyterhub user?

The SimpleLocalProcessSpawner is designed for testing, and spawns all servers as the hub user

                  self.log.debug("Killing %i", self.pid)
                  await self._signal(signal.SIGKILL)
                  await self.wait_for_death(self.kill_timeout)
          
                  status = await self.poll()
                  if status is None:
                      # it all failed, zombie process
                      self.log.warning("Process %i never died", self.pid)
          
          
          class SimpleLocalProcessSpawner(LocalProcessSpawner):
              """
              A version of LocalProcessSpawner that doesn't require users to exist on
              the system beforehand.
          
              Only use this for testing.
          
              Note: DO NOT USE THIS FOR PRODUCTION USE CASES! It is very insecure, and
              provides absolutely no isolation between different users!
              """

Hopefully it’s obvious that this is insecure since it provides no segregation between users.
