file permissions for a video device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

I was working with a USB camera. As soon as I plug it into the host,
it probes and video device node gets created with the following
permission.
# ll /dev/video0
crw------- root     root      81,   0 2015-07-13 20:39 video0


However it grants permissions to only a root user. I need to be able
to access this device node from a daemon (running in a non root user
account).

I can ofcourse chmod the devnode, but was wondering if there is a way
this can be done from the kernel itself ? Is there some place in the
uvc code which sets the created the devnode file permissions ?
