By using the sudo command.  man sudo.

You don't need to.  Pppconfig is just for configuring ppp, not for running
it.  To be able to use pon as a user to bring up ppp run pppconfig, go to
'Advanced', go to 'Add User', and enter your username.  This adds you to
the dip group, all of whose members can run ppp.
