There is no burn group in SUSE, at least not in 10.0. Access rights are given during console login by setting file ACLs. This is done by resmgr, see /usr/share/doc/packages/resmgr/.
Do a getfacl /dev/sr0 (or whatever your CD-Writer-Device is) to see the ACLs.
The only remaining question is if there shouldn't be write access to the corresponding generic SCSI device as well, or if that isn't needed.
when I start k3b (suse 10.2) it says this: cdrecord will be run without root privileges It is highly recommended to configure cdrecord to run with root privileges. Only then cdrecord runs with high priority which increases the overall stability of the burning process. Apart from that it allows changing the size of the used burning buffer. A lot of user problems could be solved this way. This is also true when using SuSE's resmgr. Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem.
Interesting information. k3bsetup sets cdrecord setuid-root, doesn't it? How do you prevent that it is set back to 755, according to /etc/permissions, when SuSEconfig is run the next time? (This is done by the module /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.permissions and controlled by /etc/sysconfig/security.) If cdrecord needs to run with root privileges, it should be installed so from the start and not changed by k3bsetup, IMHO. The latter won't survive for long in a standard SUSE setup, the setuid bit will disappear after the next sysadmin activity that causes SuSEconfig to run.
