If you're trying to grant access to console users, have a look at 
/etc/fbtab (not a typo).  man 5 fbtab will allow you to set 
permissions on /dev/whatever for console users.  For remote users 
shelling in, you might be better off looking at sudo, or another 
wrapper program that allows certain users to perform tasks that 
usually only root can do.

Hope this helps,
