### Running as non root
To use jackit without root privileges, you can add an `udev` rule for the CrazyRadio PA dongle.
Example: `/etc/udev/rules.d/41-mousejack.rules`
```
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1915", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0102", GROUP="plugdev", MODE="0660"
```
Assuming your user is in `plugdev` group, this rule will allow you to use the device. Restart the `udev` service to apply the rule.
