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)
