Welcome to U&L. Unless you are doing an action that needs root privileges, you are free to run scripts using any user account on your system. Do you have a specific requirement here? Can you add more details to your question to clarify that?

Thanks!! I concerned about running bash script/command as a root user, in case I mess up the system. What is the ideal way to run it?

You would create a new user account, login to the system with that account, and then run your shell scripts using that account. This is a very basic requirement, so you should be able to find many tutorials online on how to do this. As it currently stands, your question is about a very broad topic and may end up being closed.
