Use chmod u+s or chmod g+s to make programs run with permissions of
their owner/group. But don't forget that in some cases doing this may
be a security risk.

In the systemwide crontab file /etc/crontab, the user is specified for
each entry. If you use per-user crontabs (e.g. with crontab -e),
programs are run with the permission of the user the crontab file
belongs to.
