crontab uid ?



When I create a crontab and it runs, what uid/gid does it run with?

I presume it's the uid of the user that has the crontab.  But I've run
into a situation recently where root wasn't able to run a program from its
crontab that interacted with the serial port (bottlerocket was the
program).

Is root restricted when it comes to serial port commands?
