Google.com is your friend. Search for "udev" and go to the first
link:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/hotplug/udev-FAQ

After reading that, create a new file "/etc/udev/rules.d/01-my.rules"
that looks similar to:

KERNEL="FIXME", NAME="%k", MODE="0660",OWNER="root" GROUP="FIXME"

But change the "FIXME" to the UDEV keys for the devices of interest.
The UDEV documentation will show you how to determine what these
strings mean.
