    You have to set the permission of the generic scsi device file
    /dev/sg? where "?" is something like 0-9 or a-z.
    You have to set read and write permission for the one who
    shall be able to do a scan.

    So a first try could be:

    chmod 666 /dev/sga
    (if /dev/sga is the device file where the scanner is found)
