### When are extra system privileges needed?

1. **CPU energy measurement**: `root` privileges are needed when measuring CPU energy through the Intel RAPL interface. This is due to a [security issue](https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2020-8694). Specifically, this is needed if you want to measure CPU energy via [`ZeusMonitor`][zeus.monitor.energy.ZeusMonitor] with `cpu_indices`.
