Steps to Reproduce

Running code-server by another sudo user(not root) does not allow for the installation of extensions and shows error 403 on the UI.
Runcode-server --install-extension extension_id with or without sudo by the user, installs the extensions in/root/.local/share/code-server/extensions.
The only way is to change the owner of~/.local/share/code-server/extensions and install the extension by importing the.vsix file. Still get error 403 with changing the owner.

Expected

I run code-server as another sudo user and I was expected to install extensions through UI easily.

Actual

It gives me error 403 on the UI and does not allow me to install any extension.
