# Description
I can not scan as user using software like simple-scan or xsane.
If I run xsane and simple-scan with sudo, I can use my scanner.
It seems to be a permission issue
# Step to reproduce
1. Start xsane or simple-scan as user
2. xsane and simple-scan fail to scan, "device is not connected"
3. Start xsane or simple-scan with sudo
4. It works, you can scan
