systemd has --user option, which makes it a service manager for a particular user, if that's what you mean. I used it for some time to run an emacs daemon. (until I found that it closed between logouts and changed to using the system manager isntead)

You can make user level systemd instances run at startup and stick around regardless of login/logout.

  loginctl enable-linger <username>
This enables some nice deployment strategies that don't require root.

Thanks. I figured this was possible. I just never got around to looking at loginctl's options.
