On some Linux systems, maybe even typically, permissions are like this
for serial devices:

crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 188, 0 Oct 12 12:07 /dev/ttyUSB0

So it might be all you need to do is add your user to the dialout
group. Then again, /dev/ttyAMA0 on my Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu
doesn't follow this convention, so YMMV.
