%post script run as root

Hi,
If i need to run some ash scripts as root in %post, is it within the guidelines of RPM building?
I Searched through Maximum RPM, and could not find the answer.

OR
Is it that ALL sections are run as root ( chroot) in the "BUILD" area, and when the rpm is finally installed in the target, it chroots to run the scripts as root ?

since i saw somewhere that %pre has a --nochroot qualifier

Thanks,
-Kamal.

scriptlets generally run as the user doing the installing, which almost
always is root.
