how do I fix "you are not a superuser error message???"

below is the error message that I get when i start guarddog:

"Since you do not have superuser privileges, Guarddog is running with
reduced functionality. Firewall scripts may be Imported/Exported, but
the system's firewall settings may not be changed."

how can I get the priviliges so that I can begin to protect my system with guarddog?
