True, didn't see that, thanks for pointing it out. But in the same section it presents a wrapper script that can be used in place of the real executable, as well as the recommendation to change it to SUID, as it will drop the privileges itself. That way, neither sudo nor ssh are needed.

But note that the recommended alternative to the above "workaround" is actually to install growisofs set-root-uid, in which case it will drop privileges prior accessing data or executing mkisofs in order to preclude unauthorized access to the data.
