What you do is to add the user to the group. Check in /dev and get the name
of the group for the device. Then edit /etc/group and add the names of the
users that can use that device. For instance, if the group name is uucp
then modify the group uuscp in /etc/group to look like this:
uucp:x:14:username1, username2, username3
