Snapped apps using su/sudo

Hi,

I'm trying to create a snap for sshuttle, the ssh-based VPN app.
One of its components (the firewall manager) needs to either be run as
root, or use su/sudo to be able to configure firewall rules.

The app uses an "if os.getuid() != 0" to check whether it can run.

Is there any way to get it to work inside a snap?

Thanks,
-Alberto
