One way is to create a udev rule that sets the permission for the
device. You may also want to create a symlink to a consistant device
name at the same time.

If there isn't a device created for it, it gets a bit more
interesting. I have a small script that I call from the udev rule
that sets the permissions for the specific device in /proc/bus/usb.
I actually wrote it for use with VirtualBox, but it should work for you.

====================================================

# Rules for VirtualBox USB devices.

ACTION!="add",SUBSYSTEM!="usb", GOTO="vbox_rules_end"

# eBookwise eBook reader.
ATTR{idVendor}=="0993", ATTR{idProduct}=="0002",
run="/lib/udev/set-usb-group %s{uevent}"

LABEL="vbox_rules_end"

====================================================

#! /bin/sh
ret=false
if [ "$DEVICE" != "" ]; then
 if [ -e $DEVICE ]; then
  chgrp vboxusers $DEVICE && \
  chmod g+rw $DEVICE && \
  logger udev/set-usb-group: $(ls -l $DEVICE)
    ret=true
 fi
fi

====================================================

The group is hard coded in the script, and it only give group
permissions, but that is easy to change. One of these days I will
get around to cleaning it up, and let it get the
user/group/permissions as input.
