Hi. One way to do this as a non-root user is to add the account to the "operator" group. This is what I do on my personal desktop machine and it has worked fine, but I understand that may not be best in all cases. You might also try changing the permissions on /dev/zfs. I don't do this method and I'm not sure if it's a proper way, but from trying it very briefly it seems to work correctly with the user not in the "operator" group.
