Sharing USB devices between users

I have a usb camera and when I plug it in the first user that accesses it gets the permissions to use it. When another user logs in and tries to access it they can't. How do I change this?

If the users belong to a similar group, adding 'gid=GROUP,umask=007' to the mount options should work, I believe.
