# Normally, all of /dev/hidraw* are accessible only by root.

#	$ ls -l /dev/hidraw*

# An ordinary user, trying to acccess it will be denied.
#
# Unnecessarily running applications as root is generally a bad idea because it makes it too easy
# to accidentally trash your system.  We need to relax the restrictions so ordinary users can use these devices.

# If all went well with installation, the  /etc/udev/rules.d directory should contain a file called
# 99-direwolf-cmedia.rules  containing:

SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0d8c", GROUP="audio", MODE="0660"

#
# I used the "audio" group, mimicking the permissions on the sound side of the device.
#
#	$ ls -l /dev/snd/pcm*
#	crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 16 Sep 24 09:40 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p
#	crw-rw----+ 1 root audio 116, 17 Sep 24 09:40 /dev/snd/pcmC0D1p
#
# You should see something similar to this where someone in the "audio" group has read-write access.
#
#	$ ls -l /dev/hidraw*
#	crw-rw---- 1 root audio 247, 0 Oct  6 19:24 /dev/hidraw0
