For the usb devices look in /etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules section # misc devices for line KERNEL=="usbscanner*", MODE="644" and change to KERNEL=="usbscanner*", MODE="666" or KERNEL=="usbscanner*", GROUP="scanner", MODE="666"
First will allow anybody that has account on computer to use scanner, and second only to those that belong to group "scanner". That group you can add using YaST, and add all users that need access to scanner in that group. I would create group "scanner" first and than go and install scanner.
Well, I was indeed able to get the devices created with whatever group/permissions I wanted using the technique you describe above (though it didn't work with usbscanner* -- I had to use the pattern usbdev* to match the device names in /dev) but that *still* didn't give normal users the ability to use the scanner. At this point I'm guessing it's something to do with resmgr -- perhaps YaST didn't create some file or another in resmgr's /etc conf files; I'll say it again: I'm not enough of a systems administrator to really know what I'm doing with this stuff. So I threw in the towel and turned on saned, allowing users to invoke scanning commands via the network. It works, which is the bottom line, I suppose, but it's discouraging that I wasn't able to get things working without going around the barn this way. Thanks to everyone for their valiant efforts to provide with me guidance.
