By default Rivendell seems to like running as root. However, we have it configured to run as a regular user as well as jackd. We give this user special permissions to run jackd with realtime priority. We start jackd as that user before starting Rivendell (using upstart scripts on Ubuntu 14.04), and this seems to work well for us.
