I have had a search through the archives, but can't find anything that quite answers my question. (All other USB permission questions seem to be to do with cameras and hard drives and mounting issues.)
I have a USB device that allows me to debug embedded microprocessors. When I run my software debug environment as root, I can connect to the USB device no problem. When I run it as user, it cannot connect.
If I run (as user)
cat /proc/bus/usb/devices
I get the following. The salient entry here is the bottom one that says Atmel JTAGICE Mk II - indicating Linux can clearly see it as user, but I am guessing that I have to set up a permission somewhere to allow user to access it. Problem is, I don't know what to set! Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Glad to hear a sucess. If you could post what you did to fix it, it can help others later. Also include type and model number of the device. It will help if someone is searching for help on the same or similiar device.
I was thinking of something else in my first reply. My mistake, thought it would be mounted as a scsi block device. This is not the way that piece of hardware works.
