Can describe file be run under a user other than kitchen?

Is there a way to run the following as root or under another user instead of the kitchen user?

describe file ()

kitchen-inspec is always using the same user as test-kitchen to establish the connection. In case you need sudo, you can activate this in your kitchen.yml

verifier:
  name: inspec
  sudo: true

Thanks.
