you can use rsync via sudo

Running rsync 3.2.5 on Rocky Linux 9. I am a long-time vanilla user of rsync to 
transfer files between servers and local computers. Now, however, I have a need 
that is more complex and I could use some help figuring out how to do.

I need to transfer directories/files owned by multiple users from a server to 
another machine in preparation for a switch-over. I am the administrator of 
both machines and I have configured them to only allow access using ssh using 
my key, in other words, no password logins, nor can root access the machines 
using ssh.

I am hoping I - using a bash script - can log in, elevate my privileges to root 
and then (somehow) transfer the files from the server to another machine.

I should add that this server is running rsync 3.1.2 on CentOS 7.

Can I do this given the constraints I have above? If so, what should the 
command look like?

Many thanks in advance!
