To enable applications to access neuron devices without needing root privileges create udev rules.
To enable applications to access neuron devices without needing root privileges,
create a dedicated `neuron` system group, add authorized users to it, and
configure udev rules to restrict device access to that group.

```
`echo 'KERNEL=="neuron*", MODE="0666"' > /lib/udev/rules.d/neuron-udev.rules`
sudo groupadd -f neuron
sudo usermod -aG neuron $USER
echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="neuron*", KERNEL=="neuron*", GROUP="neuron", MODE="0660"' | sudo tee /lib/udev/rules.d/neuron-udev.rules
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger
```
