Rather than changing the app to run with sudo, what you want to do is edit the consolehelper config in /etc/security/console.apps/pup. 'man userhelper' for the variables that can be set there -- probably what you want to do is set "UGROUPS=wheel" in that file and then add all pup-privileged users to the wheel group.
