I'm not sure how that is going to solve the problem, but maybe that's
because I am not very good at this.

This is what my problem looks like:

MyScript.sh:
#!/bin/bash

Command_0
Command_1
Command_2
Command_3
Command_4
Command_5
Command_6
Command_7
Command_8
Command_9
# End of script

Run the script:
sudo ./MyScript.sh

Now all of the ten commands runs as root, right?
But let's assume that I want Command_7 to run as user.
Like this:
MyScript.sh:
#!/bin/bash

sudo Command_0
sudo Command_1
sudo Command_2
sudo Command_3
sudo Command_4
sudo Command_5
sudo Command_6
Command_7
sudo Command_8
sudo Command_9
# End of script

Run the script:
./MyScript.sh

I heard somewhere, though, that running commands with sudo in a script
is not the recommended way to do it. So I guess I need something like
this (written in some kind of pseudo code):
MyScript.sh:
#!/bin/bash

Command_0
Command_1
Command_2
Command_3
Command_4
Command_5
Command_6
sudonot Command_7 # don't run this command as root
Command_8
Command_9
# End of script

Run the script:
sudo ./MyScript.sh
