You are not really explaining what it is that you actually
want to do...

So i'm guessing a bit:

  https://manpages.debian.org/buster/fakeroot/fakeroot.1.en.html

says:

  fakeroot runs a command in an environment wherein it appears to
  have root privileges for file manipulation. This is useful for
  allowing users to create archives (tar, ar, .deb etc.) with files
  in them with root permissions/ownership.

If that is what you need, then the OpenBSD facility serving the
same purpuse is documented here:

  https://man.openbsd.org/mount.8#noperm

Yours,
  Ingo
