Dialout Ports

To check the current permissions and owner/group of the serial device: ls -la /dev/ttyUSB0 # check the USB port crw-rw----. 1 root dialout 188, 0 Apr 3 21:16 /dev/ttyUSB0 id glenn # check user is in the dialout group sudo usermod -a -G dialout glenn # add the dialout group to the user sudo groupadd mynewgroup # adds a new group to the system if required

If you had to add the dialout group to the user, you will need to log out then log back in and now you should have access to the device.
