Actually, everything should still be okay non-root.  You will just  
need to use the user-level equivalents to the system-wide files, but  
that's much as it used to be.  Java WS Core is perfectly happy to  
startup under any credential you want, and to use any grid-mapfile  
you want.

General credential override environment variables: http://

credentials

For the container specifically, you can edit its security descriptor:

There are multiple groups who develop SGE adapters, but I don't know  
what versions they support.
