Mesos-slave is often run as root, so it has permissions to create/modify containers and setuid to run tasks as other users. If you have authentication setup (mesos-master --authenticate) and ACLs (mesos-master --acls), then you can set the run_tasks ACL to ensure only authorized frameworks can run tasks as root on the slaves. Mesos master doesn't need to be run as root, but it doesn't run any userland code itself, so it's not risky to run it as root.
