title: How do I map Parallels shared home directory as a normal user instead of root?
body: <p>I am using Parallels in order to be able to use the same code across multiple platforms without needing any kind of sync mechanism.</p>
  
  <p>This worked really well but there is one serious downside, the mounted folder is owned by <code>root</code> and this is forcing me to use root account on the VM. </p>
  
  <p>This is clearly not a good security practice and also prevents me from discovering bugs that would be visible only when running as a normal user.</p>
  
  <p>How can I address this problem? I was not able to find any options in Parallels for choosing the username.</p>
