Hence my reference to udev rules. Specifically, the udev rules that
create the /dev file related to the USB device in question. You can
alter or add to these rules to give that device node a specific owning
UID and GID, and/or specific rwx rules for owner, group and other.

BUT, it would be simpler for the OP to just add their own UID to the
group that udev assigns group ownership of the USB device to.
