Start autocutsel on boot

I try to start autocutsel on boot of the system.
autocutsel.service

[Unit]
Description=Start autocutsel on boot
After=graphical.target
[Service]
Type=idle
User=user1
ExecStart=usr/bin/autocutsel -buttonup
ExecStop=pkill autocutsel
[Install]
WantedBy=graphical.target

journalctl -b

autocutsel[369]: Error: Can't open display:

If I try to run "systemctl start autocutsel" after start of X then get the same result.
What do I do wrong?

Re: Start autocutsel on boot

Thanks. systemd --user is exactly what I need.
But a small question. I try to

sudo systemctl --user --global enable autocutsel

But after reboot "systemctl --user status autocutsel" say

● autocutsel.service - Start autocutsel on boot
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/user/autocutsel.service; en>
   Active: inactive (dead)

The most interesting is

$ systemctl --user status graphical.target
Unit graphical.target could not be found.

I need to start autocutsel after X Server.
I have accidentally read neighbor topic where topic starter have similar problem with absent systemd dbus.target and use .xprofile to start spice-vdagent. It works in my case, God bless autocutsel stops automatically after X Server shut down. But I am still interesting in how it can be done with systemd service.
