The agent must run as a privileged user, typically root, in order to be able to do its work. That work might include, for example, applying an Exec resource, such as one that runs your installer. If such an Exec's 'user' parameter is set, then the agent will assume the identity of the specified user while running the command. You do not need the agent overall to run as that user.
